link to a forum search in a "troubleshooting installation" section

[gregcaporaso]

we'll do this here, instead of in docs (so closing qiime2/docs#560 in favor of this issue).

I think the best way for us to do this would be to link to an install (or similar) tag that we use on the forum, so we have some level of curation over what shows up when users click this link.

Hey @gregcaporaso - the install-faqs tag has been created (staff-only for adding/removing the tag from posts) - here's the URL for that tag: https://forum.qiime2.org/tag/install-faqs

Right now it's empty but I'm going to work on slowly adding old posts to this, and I've asked the mod team to add posts that seem useful as well (moving forward).

Let me know if you want me to open a PR with this linked off, or if you'd prefer to do it with any other changes you're making!

Thanks for working on this @lizgehret - the new tag seems great.

One thing we haven't figured out yet is where distribution-specific installation instructions are going to live, but I would like us to sort this out in this release cycle. Once we make that decision then we're ready to link this from that spot. Let's discuss in the engineering meeting this week. Two options I see right now are a Reference document that we link prominently from qiime2.org and use.qiime2.org, or in a distributions section on library.qiime2.org (that we link from the other spots).

Though I guess in any case we should have a References > Installing QIIME 2 document in here. That could currently link to the install page in docs.qiime2.org, and include this link in a troubleshooting section. Feel free to add that now, or we can hold off and discuss.

[lizgehret]

I think having that under a References section makes sense to me - let's discuss specifics during our meeting tomorrow, and then I can get started on that!
