Description

# 📚 Documentation Request

## Clarification
Our docs have been written with the assumption that ANTS will only ever be run on Linux. If we make our packages available on conda-forge, users may make the assumption that we support other platforms. We should be be explicit that we only support Linux.

This means both the built docs and the README visible in GitHub should both be updated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GitHub README and the source used to generate the built documentation, looking for existing platform-support wording. Update both documentation outputs to state that ANTS supports Linux only, then verify the README and built docs say the same thing.
