----------------------------------

             Summary: Download Storm release link in 1.0.x and 1.1.1 points to github(source code) rather than the storm.apache.org link. 
                 Key: STORM-2949
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2949
             Project: Apache Storm
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.0.5, 1.1.1
            Reporter: Seema Joshi
             Fix For: 1.0.5, 1.1.1


I am following the documentation to [Setup a Storm cluster for 1.0.5|http://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.4/Setting-up-a-Storm-cluster.html] and I have some comments/ errors to point out.
 
- The documentation only exists for 1.0.4. Replacing 1.0.4 in the url with 1.0.5 gives a 404 error.
 
- The section to [Download and extract a Storm release to Nimbus and worker machines|http://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.4/Setting-up-a-Storm-cluster.html#download-and-extract-a-storm-release-to-nimbus-and-worker-machineshttp://storm.apache.org/releases/1.0.4/Setting-up-a-Storm-cluster.html%23install-dependencies-on-nimbus-and-worker-machines] provides a link to download Storm releases from GitHub. 
 * The tar.gz download from [github|https://github.com/apache/storm/releases/tag/v1.0.5] is 8.5MB and is labeled as "*Source code* (tar.gz)". This is confusing for a release download.
 * Trying to run nimbus from the extracted folder gives the following error, which is consistent with the above labeling. 
 * [vagrant@node1 storm-1.0.6]$ bin/storm nimbus

******************************************

The storm client can only be run from within a release. You appear to be trying to run the client from a checkout of Storm's source code.

 

You can download a Storm release at [http://storm.apache.org/downloads.html]

******************************************

This link is incorrect in documentation for v1.0.x and v1.1.x.
 My understanding is the documentation is pointing to the wrong link. This link should be updated to point to the [releases|http://storm.apache.org/downloads.html] from [http://storm.apache.org/] as mentioned in the error message. I was able to setup the storm cluster using this download path.
