My feedback on DAML in general and documentation as a non-coder

@Gary_Verhaegen The page you linked isn’t hard to find, the issue is it misses a step/assumes certain things are already in place and therefore fails in practice.

Here are the two stackoverflow answers that gave me some insight:

  1. Making sure Java Home is correctly set
  2. The difference between Path and fPath

One of the key things to keep in mind is the shell on Mac has now changed from Bash to ZSH so setting up the path for that requires a different config file as far as i am aware.

I also had to look up how to create the file and save the path info.

As an aside, I also had issues launching DAML studio the first time, the fix to which I found on the VS code website
