Would there be any way to have a small page put up for Lynx users (say, https://lynx.invoiceninja.org) that only contains a link to the current zip file? Visiting the main page only returns a 403 Forbidden error.
It’d probably be more convenient for users to be able to just download the zip file directly from the server via the command line than having to download it to another PC and transfer it to the server via FTP/SMB/etc.
There is a direct link from the github page under Installation -> Self host:
Can you clarify, which link is returning a 403?
Same result either way.
I dont understand the need for using Lynx to download the software when the software itself wont run in Lynx. There is a lot of functionality via javascript and Lynx doesn’t support javascript so it’s not going to end well.

Because that’s all you need Lynx for is to download it. If you’re running a Linux server in a command-line only environment (no GUI or windowing system whatsoever), which is what many people do, it’s nice to have an easy way to just grab the file when needed. Otherwise you have to download it on a system with a full GUI and browser, then transfer it over to the server by some other method.
This has nothing to do whatsoever with accessing the user interface. All that is served up by whatever HTTP server and database you’re running the back-end on.
If you’re on a Linux server in a command-line only environment, then why don’t you use WGET?
wget https://download.invoiceninja.com/ninja-v3.3.3.zip
That’s what I use when I need to update Invoice Ninja on my VPS.

wget, curl, aria2, and many more allow for file download on a headless server. Lynx is not needed.
