This forum post <https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2635> suggests that the Installation section of the docs <https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b3/docs/dev-guide/addon-development/installation.html> is not sufficiently verbose (although one might counter-argue that the user in question is a casual developer whose needs are best met by Add-on Builder).

I also notice that it says to "navigate to the root directory of your checkout", even though most users will presumably have obtained the SDK by downloading a package, not by checking out code from a source repository.

We should at least update the text to account for that probability, and perhaps there is some additional information we can provide about expanding the package and entering its directory.
