📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Linux setup instructions in README.md were simplified by removing a separate navigation step and integrating the DuckDB package download directly into the first instruction, with subsequent steps renumbered accordingly.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation README.md	Collapsed the separate "Head over to the DuckDB webpage" step into step 1 (download), renumbered subsequent steps (move files -> step 2, ldconfig/linking -> step 3). No code or commands changed.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through README's tidy trail,
Cut a detour short, merged download detail,
Steps now march in neat, numbered row,
Quiet changes, steady flow,
A little hop for docs — watch them grow!

17-17: Consider documenting the enforced minimum DuckDB version.

The instruction says “latest,” but adding “(>= 1.3.0)” would make the setup requirement explicit and match runtime expectations.

Based on learnings: DuckDB minimum version is 1.3.0 (enforced in extconf.rb).

In `@README.md` at line 17, Update the README instruction that currently says
"Download the latest C++ package release for DuckDB" to explicitly require
DuckDB version >= 1.3.0 (e.g., "Download the latest C++ package release for
DuckDB (>= 1.3.0)"); reference the enforcement in extconf.rb so users understand
this minimum is required at runtime and to keep the README and extconf.rb
requirement consistent.

numbering: change the line starting with "1 Download the latest [C++ package
release for DuckDB](...)" to "1. Download the latest [C++ package release for
DuckDB](...)" to include the missing period and ensure consistent rendering.
