First PR to compss. Haven't learned how to run the tests, so didn't check that option in the pull request template. Hoping CI will find any issues with this PR 👍

I wasn't sure if there was a reason for using this environment variable, but if it's legacy code, then maybe the platform module is a more suitable option? The TARGET_OS is not defined in my env.
