[abetoluwani]

Description:
This pull request introduces the first official Windows installation guide, providing a detailed, step-by-step approach to setting up the necessary tools. The goal is to ensure a seamless installation process by outlining prerequisites, command-line instructions, troubleshooting steps, and visual references for common errors.

Changes Included:

• First-time Windows documentation, covering all required tools and configurations.
• Added a Prerequisites section to ensure users have Git installed and configured in their IDE.
• Comprehensive NVM installation steps, including:
  • Download and setup instructions.
  • Verification commands.
  • Steps to install and use Node.js via NVM.
• Included troubleshooting steps for npm -v errors, including execution policy fixes.
• Detailed Docker installation guide, ensuring clarity in:
  • Installing Docker Desktop.
  • Verifying the installation.
  • Managing Docker as a non-admin user with a clear explanation of user permissions.
• Explained Docker Compose installation and verification.
• First-time Xest installation guide, emphasizing the need for a Git-based terminal.
• Retained all image references to illustrate common errors users may encounter.

Screenshots & References:

• Included images for npm -v errors.
• Added reference to error_2.png for Docker user permission issues.

Why This Change?

• This is the first dedicated Windows installation guide.
• Many users face common issues while setting up NVM, Docker, and Xest.
• The original resources lacked Windows-specific instructions, leading to confusion.
• Adding troubleshooting steps will reduce errors and speed up setup.
• Image references enhance clarity and provide quick visual identification of errors.

How to Test?

1. Follow the steps in the Windows Installation Guide.
2. Verify:
   • Git installation using git --version
   • NVM installation with nvm version
   • Node.js setup with node -v and npm -v
   • Docker installation with docker --version
   • Docker Compose verification with docker compose version
   • Xest installation with xx --version
3. If any errors occur, check the troubleshooting steps and confirm they resolve the issues.

Additional Notes:

• Xest requires a Git-based terminal (e.g., Git Bash, WSL) due to its reliance on grep. This is explicitly mentioned in the prerequisites.
• Restarting the system is emphasized where necessary to apply changes correctly.
