Why Linux?

Why is Linux necessary to use this? Could I not just use pip and Python on Windows without having to install a Linux distro?
You're welcome to try!
I assumed that somewhere there's a package that I'm using that wouldn't work on windows
I have never personally ran this or Python on windows. If you get this successfully working on windows, please let me know and I'll update the install instruction
Just tested on my own end - Windows WORKS - but the formatting in the default terminal and powershell doesn't display. I suspect that a better terminal emulator will support Sty's underlining and highlighting.
The important part is that windows users can utilize CX_DB8 to create word docs on the fly.
I tried it on Windows as well, and it created GENERATED SUMMARY and NOT UNDERLINED sections. It did not generate a word document. Something may not be installed right on my end, I will take a look at it again later. I also tried it in Git Bash, but Ctrl-D did not stop text entry and I could not figure out what keys would stop it.
Look for "test_sum.docx", that is where the docx should be. Works on my machine :)
On windows, it's (Ctrl-Z + Enter)
As far as it not highlighting or underlining, I have no idea why that is. I will try it again with dynamic underlining/highlighting turned off. I suspect that it's an issue somewhere within Sty (the terminal highlighting library)
