FAQ
Do I need special equipment?
No. The lists above stick to essentials. Upgrade only after the basic version works and you know which limitation actually bothers you.
Can I adapt this to my situation?
Yes — treat the steps as the skeleton. Keep the verification steps; customize everything else.
What if I get stuck?
Return to the last verified checkpoint and redo the failing step slowly. If it still fails, search for the exact error or symptom rather than the general task.
