| Then launch Ubuntu with: ```wsl``` then in a Ubuntu terminal you can run ```uname -a``` it will run Linux system info. |

Since I was using a Mac, I did not need to do some steps, like setting up the Linux environment, for example. So I was thinking it might be helpful to specify the steps for people using a Mac, so they don't try to copy the steps for Windows.

I would specify to clone the repository [ git clone https://github.com/BCStudentSoftwareDevTeam/bcsr.git] or else you would get the error message " No such file or directory". Then also make sure they are in the correct directory by using "cd bcsr".

Description
This PR updates the BCSR README to replace the outdated Cloud9 development setup instructions with a current Windows development workflow using WSL and Ubuntu.
The updated documentation now includes instructions for:
setup.shsetup.shfrom running correctlydatadirectoryapp/config.yamlcreate_db.pyto initialize the development databasepython3 app.pyThis PR is documentation-only and does not change the existing application code or database implementation.
###Testing
To test this PR, the reviewer should follow the updated README setup instructions from beginning to end on a Windows development environment.
The reviewer should verify that the documented steps successfully lead to the BCSR development application running locally.
Some minor deviations may be necessary depending on the reviewer's existing Windows, WSL, Ubuntu, Python, or MySQL setup, but the overall setup process should remain accurate and usable.
