Description
Description
Point 5 of the Manual setup instructions does not specify how to invoke paket i.e. .paket/paket.exe init.
Also, this downloads the paket.bootstrapper.exe again, which the user would have renamed as per Point 3. This can be a bit confusing for a new user.
Expected behavior
The instructions should specify how to invoke paket initally (paket init). Also, add another point about deleting the newly downloaded paket.bootstrapper.exe after initial invocation.

Open the linked Getting Started page and inspect the Manual setup section, especially points 3 and 5. Update the instructions to show how to invoke paket init and clarify what to do with the newly downloaded paket.bootstrapper.exe; the issue is done when the manual setup sequence is unambiguous for a new user.
