Installation issues

I just tried to install it on my Windows work desktop and got this:

Github installation works for me now.
Removed reliance on rhdx, use in afriadmin currently experimental.

Hi Andy,

I tried to install afriadmin today, but it got stuck on the download stage for almost an hour before I cancelled it. My internet connection is theoretically not that bad... Just thought I should let you know.

Thanks!
