WPILib Installation Guide has misleading information #2988

The first paragraph of the WPILib Installation Guide says that "[it] is intended for Java and C++ teams... Python teams can skip to Python Installation Guide." This is misleading because while teams using Python do not need to install everything, they still (to my knowledge) need to install the tools (Shuffleboard, SmartDashboard, etc.). I ran into this issue because my installation of the Driver Station kept complaining that SmartDashboard couldn't be found. I think multiple parts of the guide would need to be changed, including the step where it says to download everything.

That's a good point. Feel free to update the docs and make a PR, the contribution guide can be found at https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/contributing/frc-docs/index.html
