The doc is missing explanation that packages should be installed first with their package manager

from @fcat : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/343399#note_853906683

I can't find where the doc says to install the dependencies (by running npm install, pip install -r requirements.txt, bundle install, etc.) prior to running ScanCode. Am I missing something?

we should have this doc alright.

@pombredanne is this still an issue?
I think we have properly document the prerequisites
https://scancode-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/install.html#prerequisites
and the installation process
