Windows setup instruction in README about digital-cash HOT 6 OPEN

1: I installed the latest Python Windows installer (3.7), and it seems like it now uses py to start Python instead of python or python3. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13533958/5503425. You can still add the Python folder to your PATH to allow you to type python as well if you like.

Best bet if having issues is to read through: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

2: Not sure if the following "virtualenv" lines in Step 4 (https://github.com/superquest/digital-cash#step-4-clone-the-project-with-git-install-dependencies-and-run-it) are relevant for Windows? Didn't seem to work for me, but Jupyter notebook launched fine anyway.

python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

from digital-cash.

some steps that I had to take in between the commands provided:
(after installation of virtualenv)
cd digital-cash/venv/Scripts
activate (venv> appears in front of the command line)
cd digital-cash
py -m pip install -r requirements.txt (installs necessary files)
jupyter notebook

from digital-cash.

I have windows and this works for me:

pip install virtualenv (normally pip comes with python3)
python -m virtualenv venv
source venv/Scripts/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
jupyter notebook

from digital-cash.

You can follow this guide: http://timmyreilly.azurewebsites.net/python-pip-virtualenv-installation-on-windows/

from digital-cash.

For windows:
Note: source command does not exists in Windows

pip install virtualenv
python -m virtualenv venv
venv/Scripts/activate  (this is a .bat file, after that, you should see a label (venv) before the path)
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
jupyter notebook

from digital-cash.

I updated the README.md to include Windows instructions. Going to leave this issue open in case anyone has issues with it ...
