Windows dependency #77

Closed alustig3 closed 5 months ago

alustig3 commented 5 months ago

I suspect by the inclusion of a .bat file in the repository, the software is primarily intended for and/or tested on a Windows machine? If so, please mention in the documentation that it is for Windows only. If it is supposed to be a cross-platform software, mention the extent that you have tested the compatibility. I personally failed to get it installed on a Mac, but can open a separate issue for us to try and resolve if you intend on offering support. No pressure to offer cross-platform support, just wanting the dependencies to clear in the documentation (as per JOSS review criteria).

It looks like the language about only being tested on Windows disappeared from the docs when I updated them for the JOSS submission... I would like to offer cross-platform support, I just haven't tested it quite yet. I do know that the full install will not work on mac since some of the supported sources (Whisker) are Windows only. So an issue showing what isn't working on a Mac install would definitely be helpful.
