Test my project's setup instructions like a brand-new user would
I want my project to work on someone else's computer, not just mine. Act like a newcomer and follow my setup instructions exactly as written.
Project:
Instructions to follow:
1. Start from a clean environment with nothing preinstalled beyond the basics, and follow each step literally. Don't fill in gaps from your own knowledge.
2. Every time a step fails, is unclear, or quietly assumes something (a tool, a version, an environment variable, an account), write it down with the exact error or the question a newcomer would ask.
3. Keep going as far as you can by working around each problem, and note the workaround.
4. Don't change my code or push anything. Just report.
Give me a numbered fix list, most blocking first, with suggested wording for each step of the instructions so the next person gets it right on the first try.
