I have added the commands to be run on Arch Linux for setting up the project when contributing, and other minor changes.
Here is a list of the changes I have made,
Added Arch Linux commands
Added a step to add a virtual environment
I find this to be an important step as otherwise there could be dependency conflicts which would result in issues being opened, which are unrelated to the project completely. Moreover, it can be hard to diagnose sometimes.
Moved the important note above the
poetry install
stepThe system packages have to be installed before, and having it afterwards can result in it being missed.
Added
$
in front of the commandsIt is the standard way to represent a bash prompt, and helps distinguish the various commands, improving readability.
Moved the Python version requirement into a note.
