+## Limitations
 
-## Known Issues and Caveats
+* While worker_threads are supported, the underlying C library is single threaded and contains process-wide settings. Functions such as `set_ephe_path()` or `set_sid_mode()` will affect the entire process, including all worker_threads. While you can still use worker_threads as long as you don't change settings from other threads in the middle of calculations, true thread-safe multithreading can only be achieved using child_process.
 
-* Due to how the underlying C library operates, you may find that the `error` field returned by some functions will contain random data even if there is no actual error. This can happen when existing memory buffers are recycled therefore the user must always check the returned flag values as per the Swiss Ephemeris documentation.
-* While worker_threads are supported, the underlying C library is single threaded and its settings are global. Functions such as `set_ephe_path()` will affect the entire process, including worker_threads. While you can still use worker_threads as long as you dont change settings from other threads in the middle of calculations, true thead-safe multithreading can be achieved using child_process instead.
+* This library is a C/C++ add-on designed for Node.JS only, it will not work in browsers, other JS engines or in any other environment that does not support native C/C++ add-ons. In order to install this library, the target system must have the necessary build tools installed, such as `python`, `make` and `gcc` on Linux, `xcode` on Mac, `visual c++` on Windows, and/or other equivalent solutions.
