Change Type

Addition

Area

Installation/upgrade

Proposed Changes

Add a basic troubleshooting note to the "Warning" section at the bottom of the "3. Netbox" page in the "Installation & Upgrade" section of the documentation.

Have user ensure that the virtual environment is still activated before performing additional troubleshooting measures.

It's a basic enough step that could help newer users avoid unnecessary confusion, while still keeping the documentation concise.

Suggested addition:

"If you receive errors regarding missing modules/packages, be sure that you still have the virtual environment activated before performing any additional troubleshooting measures."

I'm happy to be assigned to this and create the pull request, if the suggested change above is approved.
