New Features

  • Reworked installation instructions in README based on feedback from MICS meeting
    • Focus on Dev Container method
    • macOS/Linux experience generally smooth
    • Added section to highlight any Windows prereqs more significantly
      • For now: users need to manually update WSL 2 w/ either Microsoft Store or PowerShell
      • Docker automatically opens a prompt for this during its install, but feedback was that it's easy to miss., then the experience is the same as on macOS/Linux.
  • Migrated all the alternative install options into CONTRIBUTING
    • Lessens the mental load for new student contributors: there's only one main option in the README
    • CONTRIBUTING is typically read by more experienced users, so that's where our flexible options live now
