Description

**Issue description**
Downloading this repository as a .zip file and unzipping it in File Explorer fails because of Error 0x80010135: Path too long. OS build: Windows 11 Pro 24H2. My username is not particularly long.

The following documentation instructs the user to do just that as the first method.

> Download a ZIP of the repository to your local system. Un-ZIP the compressed archive.
