FAQ?

[ksbeattie]

Consider having an FAQ or trouble shooting page somewhere. In the docs, on a wiki, I'm not sure.

Things to consider adding are:

• Don't install with python setup.py use, pip install. This is because directly running setup.py uses easy_install, which is not as "smart" as pip when it comes to handling a complex set of requirements. So things can end up getting broken. For example PyQt and sip get installed incorrectly when using setup.py directly but pip install works. Refs

• pywin32 is not yet compatible with python 3.8

• Note/documentation about Turbine only on Windows

I have a question about the FOQUS example.
When I tried to load UQ Tutorial_3/5, it can not be opened and shows that 'json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)'. I have no idea how to fix the problem.

@wvuecust Would you mind opening an issue specific for this UQ Tutorial problem? Not sure how this is related to the FAQ.

(this was addressed in #853)

I think using GitHub's wiki feature might be good for this.
