02d9cf2d30 shorten the quick start chapter
this focuses on `nix-shell -p` and refers to search.nixos.org for
package search, which is currently the easiest and most effective way to
find program names.

763c1dfc2b Expand installation.md
Changes the `quick-start.md` to recommend a multi-user install, since
single-user is not supported on MacOS and https://nixos.org/download.html
recommends multi-user.

Expands `installation.md` to reflect wording on https://nixos.org/download.html
