Linux users encounter friction because VizAlerts was developed and tested on Windows, and uses Windows conventions for filepaths.
Examples are several config file values:
https://github.com/tableau/VizAlerts/blob/master/config/vizalerts.yaml#L2 https://github.com/tableau/VizAlerts/blob/master/config/vizalerts.yaml#L5 https://github.com/tableau/VizAlerts/blob/master/config/vizalerts.yaml#L6
Here's one hard-coded in the executable script itself:
https://github.com/tableau/VizAlerts/blob/master/vizalerts.py#L84
We should do a search for all references to platform-specific paths and render them platform-agnostic. At the very least the config file should also be commented to provide instructions for Linux users.
