This PR updates the documentation across the repository to reflect the
new installation workflow using `npx` and Node.js, replacing the
previous binary download instructions. It also standardizes the
prerequisites and adds helpful configuration notes for Windows users.
These changes simplify the setup process for users by leveraging `npx`
for executing the tools, ensuring they always use the latest version
without manual binary management. It also addresses feedback from PR
#2079 regarding installation clarity and Windows support.
