Under the Alpine section it says:

There are no official DuckDB binaries distributed for musl libc but it can be build with it manually following the instructions on this page.

There are a lot of instructions on the page :) Is there a specific header I should jump to next to build DuckDB manually? Happy to PR an edit for this, I'm just not sure what it should say.

Also, under Python Client on Alpine Linux, that step is optional, right? It may help to use some language like "Optionally, you can install..." to make that a bit clearer.

Hi @bertday to build on Alpine, run:

apk add g++ git make cmake ninja
git clone https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb
cd duckdb
GEN=ninja make

I agree that it can be a bit confusing. I'll work on the page a bit.

The Python step is optional – I'll make that clear.
