Problem / motivation
In the README Troubleshooting section (Q8) regarding "PyTorch or TRIBE v2 installation issues on Windows", the instructions tell users to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. However, many beginners do not realize that system-level C++ redistributable installations often require a terminal or full system restart before the new DLLs are recognized by Python/Pip.
Proposed solution
I propose adding a small, explicit note to Step 1 of Q8 instructing the user to restart their terminal (or computer) after installing the redistributable before attempting to run pip install again.
Alternatives considered
N/A - This is a simple documentation clarity improvement.
Would you like to work on this?
[x] Yes, I'd like to implement this (GSSoC contributor)
Additional context
This will reduce the number of repeated Discord/Issue questions from Windows users who installed the tools but are still seeing the missing DLL error.
