* Couple changes on the Cypress docs

Explicitly highlighted the npm i as I did not see it when it was in the sentence. Also switched to a different syntax on th egit clone commend - I see an error for it (which I could fix)... I think this one may work more universally (but I could be wrong).
I also missed the copying of the env file, so pulled it into a code block to make it obvious,.

* docs(cy): copyedits

### Tracetest Library Setup

If you go to the `package.json` file you will find the inclusion of a Tracetest package for Cypress `@tracetest/cypress`.

The first thing the test script does is import the package, grab the Tracetest API token from the environment variables and create the Tracetest instance.

```typescript
```typescript title=cypress/e2e/1-getting-started/home.cy.ts
import Tracetest, { Types } from "@tracetest/cypress";

const TRACETEST_API_TOKEN = Cypress.env("TRACETEST_API_TOKEN") || "";

Afterward, during the `before` hook, create the Tracetest instance with the API token.

```typescript
```typescript title=cypress/e2e/1-getting-started/home.cy.ts
before((done) => {
Tracetest({ apiToken: TRACETEST_API_TOKEN }).then((instance) => {

Then, during the `beforeEach` hook, the script **captures** the document to inject the `traceparent` to the meta tag.

beforeEach(() => {

onBeforeLoad: (win) => tracetest.capture(win.document),

**OPTIONAL**: If you want to wait for the test to finish and break the Cypress execution based on a failed Tracetest test, you can add the `after` hook and call the `summary` method.

```typescript
```typescript title=cypress/e2e/1-getting-started/home.cy.ts
after((done) => {
tracetest.summary().then(() => done());
});
```

The rest of the test script is the Cypress test definitions for the test cases mentioned above. The complete test script looks like this:

```typescript
```typescript title=cypress/e2e/1-getting-started/home.cy.ts
import Tracetest, { Types } from '@tracetest/cypress';

const TRACETEST_API_TOKEN = Cypress.env('TRACETEST_API_TOKEN') || '';
