Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a cross platform installation script for dependencies. Investigate how to detect Linux, Windows, and macOS and use appropriate package managers (apt get, brew, or Windows equivalent like chocolatey or manual). Check existing scripts or documentation for similar projects.
