    Description

      The OS X instructions for manual installation via curl include an example of downloading the latest release via shell: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/#download-the-binary-files-for-the-desired-release-of-mongodb

      However, the provided tgz link:

      • is not the latest (3.4.2 vs 3.4.4)
      • does not include SSL

      This link should be updated to point to the SSL distribution (matching the Download Center default) and more accurately described as downloading a specific version (rather than latest) or actually linked to the latest production version.

      It would also be helpful to make the Download Center url in this same step a hyperlink instead of static text.
