Research direction
Review the course website, assignment READMEs, and PDFs first, focusing on where command usage and platform prerequisites are documented. Update the relevant notes to mention that wget may be unavailable on Mac and curl is likely available, and correct the zcat example to use input redirection. Done means the guidance is accurate for learners working outside Linux.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Might be nice to note that wget may not be available on Mac, but curl probably already exists. Also zcat should be zcat < file.warc.gz instead of zcat file.warc.gz.
(I carefully went through the course website, entire assignment READMEs and pdfs, but did not find anywhere that says "you are supposed to complete your assignments on a Linux machine". It is probably the environment available to Stanford students so this does not seem worth noting, but it would be tremendously helpful to anyone who is following the course and completing the assignments at home)
