[BUG] Quickstart offline install based on User Guide depends on conda
Description
Conda and a venv needs to be setup for the quickstart install based on the User Guide.
This dependency needs to be called out for Linux. Error below.
I attempted to install miniconda manually and setup an venv but I'm having issues. In the meantime, the User Guide documented dependencies should be updated for Linux.
Reproduction steps
1. Go to https://cinnamon.github.io/kotaemon/
2. Download & unzip latest release
3. Run 'bash run_linux.sh'
4. See error

I got miniconda installed, reran the Kotaemon run_linux.sh, but it still gives the same error.
Conda claims to see the Kotaemon environment:
$ conda env list
# conda environments:

But when I rerun the installer:

Hmm.... what could be happening here?
I made some progress and got the kotaemon app running.
After installing miniconda, I also activated a venv. Reran run_linux.sh, and it started downloading packages.
So both 1) an activated Python venv and 2) an active conda are required for this basic User Guide install.
Does that sound right?
This process doesn't seem much simpler than the dev install ... is the intention for the Zip to be an AIO (All-In-One) or click-n-run? If that's the intention, the docs should say there's dependencies and setup.
