  {

  'distros': [

  "SLES",

  "openSUSE",

  "Arch Linux",

  ]

  'distro_releases': [],

  'versions': []

  }

• If distro was provided but distro_release parameter was not in the URL, the output will be:

  {

  'distros': 'SLES',

  "distro_releases": [

  "SLES 15 (x86_64)",

  "SLES 12 (ppc64le)",

  }

• If all distro, distro_release and version were provided in the URL, the output will be:

  {

  "text_file": Install_instructions.md (Markdown)

  }

  
  * Problem: The installation text field is not working as intended due to Creole being very old and relying on custom code. Therefore this option will not output the correct installation instructions in the Readme file, but instead will use a placeholder text.
  * Problem: Mirrors and Geolocation do not work at the moment. A default mirror is used when attempting to download from the website.
