We frequently see people having problems with installing and/or updating Mautic because there are issues with their server resourcing or configuration.
In the Mautic 3 upgrade script we have a pretty comprehensive set of checks that are run to determine whether the environment is suitable, however we do not yet have all of these introduced into the regular install and upgrade process.
We also do not have particularly comprehensive or user friendly documentation for people who are using Mautic for the first time or needing to do common tasks like configuring DNS entries, email providers, installing Mautic in different environments.

Add the checks from the Mautic 3 upgrade scripts to the install and upgrade process, at command line and in the user interface https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/9607 WIP PR: https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/10459
