README: move "Binary Installation" up and tidy it (JuliaLang#31912)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since this is how the vast majority of people will want to install Julia, it seems sensible to have it near the top of the page. This section had some very weird formatting in terms of whitespace, so I tidied that up while I was at it.

## Binary Installation

If you would rather not compile the latest Julia from source,
platform-specific tarballs with pre-compiled binaries are also
[available for download](https://julialang.org/downloads/).

If everything works correctly, you will see a Julia banner and an
interactive prompt into which you can enter expressions for
evaluation. You can read about [getting
started](https://julialang.org/manual/getting-started) in the manual.

**Note**: Although some system package managers provide Julia, such
installations are neither maintained nor endorsed by the Julia
project. They may be outdated, broken and/or unmaintained. We
recommend you use the official Julia binaries instead.
