Project Build/Install/Test on Windows Machine

[chrisdedman]

Description

We want to test the software on a local Windows machine. Currently, the project works well on macOS and Linux (Ubuntu). We run the software using WSL on Windows, which works well, but we need to test it directly on a Windows OS.
Once it is tested and the documentation is updated, we need to run the CI pipeline for Windows by editing the workflow.

Tasks

• Build/Install/Run the software locally on a Windows machine
• Document the steps to install necessary libraries, and to build the project.
  • Add documentation in the Wiki page (if no access, write it under this PR and we will add it to the doc).
• Update the workflow to include windows-latest

  • CodeAstra/.github/workflows/cpp.yml

    os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest] # TO-DO: Add back windows-latest when the project is tested on a Windows machine.

• Ensure that the Makefile for Windows installation is accurate.
