Ask an expert

The Title is your hook to catch your colleagues’ attention. Think about if you were asking someone sitting next to you for help. You’d start your question with “what”, “where”, “when”, “why”, or “how” and tell them the action you want, “fix”, “prevent”, “compare”, “access” - then provide more context and detail once you have their attention.
The Body is where you explain your question in more detail. The more information you can put in the question, the more likely you will be to get an answer.
Tags help teammates and you find information related to a specific topic.
Think you already know some experts that could answer your question? Start typing team member names or user groups and choose who should be alerted of your question.

Can someone give me an overview of the building blocks and tools involved to build and run on my non-Windows OS?

On MacOS you need to run a shell script called setup.sh from your CLI. When running under Windows LocalSetup needs PowerShell to show the menu system and we can assume it’s there on pretty much all recent builds. However, it isn’t installed by default on MacOS and Linux so we need to make sure that we have PowerShell Core installed and executable prior to running setup.sh.
