[Page feedback]: Instructions are highly incomplete, and the demo makes too many assumptions

Description

The demo cannot run as-is on Debian Bookworm and requires a lot of other things as well, like eg. npm, the Python 'venv' module or something to create a virtual environment, none of which is mentioned in the instructions, and it appears to not run with podman and podman-compose, either.

@muellert Which command of the "Get and run the demo" deployment section you found out these dependencies (npm, the Python 'venv' module or something to create a virtual environment) were required? Could you share the error command?

All the services are containerized, thus you should not require these dependencies for deploying it.
