doc problems on how-to-install-maas page

the first issue is already fixed from a separate report.

the second issue will have to be looked at. thanks for reporting it.

This is not actually an issue. The section just before the "initialize for a test or POC" section instructs the user to install the MAAS snap. The first instruction in the section in question calls for the user to do a maas command which will fail if MAAS has not been installed. Rejecting this bug as invalid.

Shouldn't install instructions be in order?

i'm not clear on how this is out of order. Install instructions come
first, then the init for the test/POC database. what did i miss?
