Solver is a command-line interface (CLI) that helps authors create O'Reilly Challenges. The Solver utility helps authors organize the verifications, the myriad of hints, and provides an enhanced solutions mechanism for rapid testing. Solver is not required, but it can shorten your time for producing quality Challenges.

More download redundance needs to be put in place in the init-background.sh script when it downloads the solver utility. That download from GitHub release page can occasionally fail as the GitHub service is not guaranteed.

Fixed in solver 0.5.4:

If you are going to upgrade existing challenges that were created before solver version 0.5.4 then you will need to upgrade the init-background.sh script. Here is a gist for that upgrade. If you are creating a new challenge with solver 0.5.4, use the solver create ... command and it will generate the correct files, including the init-background.sh script.

Fixed in 0.5.4
