There are some error messages that get reported over and over by users. We'll try and make the install process easier, and to make these error messages better in the future. But for now, you can look for your error message below, and see if there are any workaround.
For each of these error messages there is an existing issue. Please do not open an new issue--just comment there.
If you find more information or a workaround for one of these issues, please open a PR to add details to this file.
