Description
I installed tiup by using docs on this page: https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/quick-start-with-tidb/
tiup playground command constantly failed with the following error:
Checking updates for component playground... Timedout (after 2s)
The component `playground` version is not installed; downloading from repository.
Warn: invalid signature for file root.json: not enough signatures (2) for threshold 3 in root.json
Error: no trusted root in the local manifests
Running tiup update --all fixed the issue. It was simple to fix, but still took a few minutes, which isn't good for quick-start.
System: Linux ***** 6.1.0-37-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.140-1 (2025-05-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Research direction
Start with the TiDB stable quick-start page linked in the issue and review the steps around installing TiUP and running tiup playground. Verify the Debian failure and the reported tiup update --all workaround; the documentation is done when a fresh quick-start path includes the required step or otherwise avoids the signature error.
