Detect common installation mistakes and show error message

Open pokey opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

  • [ ] User forgets to clone community => Look for action we depend on and show error message during init if not detected
  • [ ] User clones monorepo instead of cursorless-talon => Have python file at root of mono-repo that shows error message
  • [ ] user hasn't installed talon?
  • [ ] user hasn't installed cursorless-talon (note that we can look for .cursorless directory, tho old installations won't have it)
  • [ ] user missing command-server

Note that if they just want cursorless keyboard, they don't need any of these things, so figure out how to handle

See https://github.com/cursorless-dev/cursorless/issues/1951 for an example where a user tried to use cursorless without Talon community repo
