Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would really be a help if a bot posted the validation screenshots if the install fails so the user can fix the error (wrong flags, dependencies, etc) or determine the error

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Someone has made a script to pull these screenshots out and about.
