+## Compatibility
+Python 3 is required. We support Linux distributions with LTS designation and active public support (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+). If your system does not map python and pip to Python 3, you may need to use python3 and pip3 instead, or install python-is-python3 (on Ubuntu/Debian).
