From e6b4ffdd935c3e2aa0822b7beba66df7d1c816d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suguru Hirahara Date: Sat, 9 Nov 2024 02:26:38 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Update docs/installing.md: add note about making sure of proper installation of required software Until recently there have been a lot of questions about installing, which could have been avoided if required software such as compatible version of Ansible was installed. This note should encourage those who experience basic error to troubleshoot before giving up.
