A semi-successful install guide for windows native / compilation of relevant GH issues

[estherwang01]

This is a troubleshooting guide for installing on windows native (as opposed to WSL/Ubuntu). Refer to README if you are installing on subsystem for linux.

Follow the general guide in the README, with the following additions:

• When installing Python3, make sure to select "add to PATH" (if you're using an installer). Also (as of 1.29.22) do not install Python3.10. Use 3.9 or 3.8 for now.
• When you deal with requirements.txt, you're likely going to run into issues involving pyaudio. Follow this guide to get pyaudio.
• When you run npm install, you'll likely get some error about codemirror / react / codependencies. If this happens, ignore and rerun npm install --force

To run the basestation (branch/master):

• It may run smoothly. Mine did not. This is a list of things I had to do:
• pip install bcrypt / pip install flask_api / whatever the error messages say is missing. I had about 4 ish random installations to make for whatever reason
• Comment out the if statement starting on line 84 of base_station.py (replace with self.sock.bind(server_address)) if you encounter issues involving WERKZEUG (comment if anyone finds a better fix for this)
• '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. in CMD --> run in bash instead (MINGW64 ended up working fine for me)
• Command flask not found --> follow this guide
• No gui updates on JS change --> follow this guide
