Compatibility Issue with GitHub Repositories on a Smart PC

[Oliviabarn]

Hello GitHub Community,

I recently set up a new development environment on my Smart PC and encountered an issue while trying to clone and build repositories from GitHub. Specifically, I was working with a project that runs on .NET 8 and encountered dependency errors during the build process.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Environment Setup: Installed the latest version of .NET SDK and ensured Node.js and npm are up to date as some repositories require frontend builds.
Cloning the Repository: Cloned the POPForums project to test compatibility. It uses advanced features like OAuth mode and real-time updates.
Build Attempt: The build failed, citing issues with missing dependencies and version mismatches, particularly with the Redis cache and Azure Search configuration.

Steps Taken to Troubleshoot:

Verified that all prerequisites like .NET 8 SDK, npm, and Redis were correctly installed.
Followed the project documentation, which suggests using AzureKit for two-level caching, but I’m unsure if my Smart PC hardware is fully optimized for this.

Key Questions:

Could the dependency issues stem from hardware limitations of the Smart PC, or are they more likely configuration errors?
Has anyone successfully configured Redis and Azure Search on a Smart PC for similar .NET projects?
Are there best practices for adapting such advanced repositories for local development on non-enterprise hardware?

Any insights or advice would be highly appreciated. Also, if there are specific logs or configurations I should check, let me know!

Looking forward to the community’s suggestions!
