4 years ago When I installed zhmetrics the program seemed to have been stuck indefinitely at the "extracting files from zhmetrics.tar"-step. After a forced taskkill and rebooting the system zhmetrics was properly installed. There should be a warning in the documentation if this process takes a long time.
I think this is specific to your computer. Packages should install smoothly. However, if several users report the same issue, we could add a small note.
Afterwards amsmath also was already installed (even though I never did that). If amsmath comes preinstalled or is an automatically installed dependency of zhmetrics, the documentation should not mention it.
I disagree here. We have no guarantee that amsmath will always be bundled, or that it is provided with all versions of the installer. It is a requirement for the default LaTeX plugin configuration to work properly, and as such should be indicated no matter what. Perhaps it could be rephrased better in the documentation.
