Description
Increasing Access
The guide will improve the access for people using Windows, and people with minimum/basic technological skill.
Feature enhancement details
A section titled "Installation guide for Windows users" will be added below the overall manual installation guide section.
Issue:
Currently the overall manual installation assumes users are using unix-like shell, and recommends using nvm as the first step. However, there is a technical hurdle for Windows users to adopt nvm (need to install WSL or find an equivalent, windows nvm, which is not mentioned in the guide). The easiest option is to skip reading the description on nvm and manually install node.js. But a user with minimum technical knowledge may not be able to skip read.
Solution:
The added section will provide installation steps similar to the one provided in the manual installation section, only tuned towards Windows users to reduce confusion in the process.
