Connor Sheehan 44d4f310aa Bug 1685811: recommend saving bootstrap.py to disk instead of piping directly to python r=mhentges DONTBUILD
The current recommendation fails while waiting on user input. Instead, just
save the script to disk as an intermediate step, then invoke it.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================
This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.
This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.
If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:
python bin/bootstrap.py
If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:
curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py -o bootstrap.py
python bootstrap.py
The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
