Add manual installation instructions

[Michal-Szczepaniak]

I found that in personal experience, when you're not running on debian or debian-based distros you have very hard time getting any instructions for installing klipper and best for now are the installation scripts. So I took whats inside those scripts and compiled them into manual installation instruction for anyone like me that is not running debian-based distro or even raspberry pi for that matter. I will adjust if any changes will be necessary.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on the advantage of adding this document as opposed to pointing users to the script? I would think that users able to manually install would be able to understand the steps detailed in the basic installation script.

I was told that the scripts would be deleted in favour of https://github.com/dw-0/kiauh. Additionally it's quite nicer to have description rather to read script directly.

I myself would appreciate having clear guide than searching through code and reading script honestly it's always nice to have it documented

@KevinOConnor I really think this should be merged, there's nothing wrong with adding helpful instructions isn't it? I myself would prefer to have it nicely in documentation rather than searching code for installation scripts and then deciphering what has to be done. It would really have potential to help people out

While your instructions seem to be correct, I'm not sure if they do bring more clarity to the users or rather the opposite.

• Someone who is experienced in Linux will not really need them

• Someone who lacks this experience will not be able to follow them, e.g. latest at stages like

  As a root, create file in [...]

  or

  Of course you need to adjust user, venv_directory, [...]

[Michal-Szczepaniak]

@Sineos I disagree "Someone who is experienced in Linux will not really need them", then we can just as well remove the normal installation instructions as non-experienced people will also not need them they can just run script. It will take them both several more hours without instructions but they don't need them right? Even if you're experienced its much faster to have nicely documented instructions rather than spending hours trying to figure out what am i supposed to do. I don't even know why you're both opposed to making life easier for people

someone who's not as experienced can ask for help on discord or forums

I second Michal's view. I am an experienced Linux user, and I would have loved to follow these instructions instead of also investing time in reverse-engineering the dependencies.

This PR is helpful and should be merged! :)
