This issue is actually caused by the missing disclaimer for Linux users in the UG ("original" issue #2511). In the UG, we have specified that MacOS users must download the data.zip file, as otherwise, the same error message as shown by the tester will be seen. However, we have missed out the disclaimer for Linux users.
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
[UG] Missing disclaimer for Linux users
Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.
Description
Quick start section includes a disclaimer for MacOS users to download an external
data.zip
file. This same warning is missing for Linux, which similarly run Unix.I suspect this missing information is what leads to
init
anddisplay
command failures for Linux users.

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
Thank you for pointing this out. This does indeed cause problems for Linux users.
Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
Reason for disagreement: To qualify as a duplicate, it must be impossible for both issues to be fixed independently. However the fact that the 'original' exists in documentation while this exists in the application (code) strongly suggests that they can.
For example, programming init
to work without external dependencies while still leaving some part of the application reliant on data.zip
would fix this issue but not the other.
Steps to reproduce
init CEG
Expected
Course plan is initialised.
Actual
Bug has been reproduced for all other course codes as well.
