  1. "the ZIP file" --> the latest ZIP file
  2. it'd be helpful IMO to also teach how to get a specific version (assuming that is straight forward)
  3. would it help if the non-quickstart samples could point to quick start? (for help with download/install)

  1. the sample assumes image tool bin is in the PATH, but has no instructions for setting same

I think we can assume that the user knows how to add a directory to the PATH.
