I am really a beginner and don't understand how a lot of this stuff works. I just installed doom emacs, I've never used emacs before. I ran the doom doctor command and it gives me two warnings.

There are 2 warnings!

What does this even mean? Can I just ignore it? Please bear with me I'm just beginning to learn this stuff. Thanks

It means Doom can't access those tools since they aren't installed on your system. They aren't necessary, as the warning suggests. If you want both of these utilities, you will need to install Marked for the markdown-preview and ShellCheck for shell script linting.

npm install -g marked
sudo apt install shellcheck

Note that Shellcheck can also be installed from cabal, dnf, pkg or brew install.

Afterwards, you should find that running doom doctor shows no warnings.

On Fedora 33, the command is

sudo dnf install ShellCheck

Please note the capitalization of the characters S and C
