Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/1439

Description
Koel site does not give an adequate explanation for new users - does it support Youtube or similar? Is it for local music only? Why host if you can install apps? etc. would be nice to have some more info on this. Also the page on installing says what is required, but new users will not know how to install these so it would be nice at least to document how to install or have links to how to install them.

Also references to "running commands" should have "in a terminal" appended, just so less tech savvy users can understand. When I had less knowledge on terminal commands, I had no idea where to run them, so I gave up. Therefore, I would appreciate these features.

Sorry, Koel was never meant to be used by "less tech-savvy users." This is not meant to gate-keep, it's just that it was built with developers as the main target audience, and I simply don't have enough resources for what you're asking. Community contribution is always welcome, though.
