Description

If you're using WSL2 (Ubuntu) on Windows, then installing yq is not quite straightforward. It's installed through snap, and snap can't be installed on WSL2 due to the systemd dependency.
There are hacks, please refer to this github issue, but none of them are persistent solutions.

Any chance we can use some yq alternative in create_pages.sh script?

Try this:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CC86BB64
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rmescandon/yq
sudo apt update
sudo apt install yq -y
