Description

Describe the bug

I found it inconvenient to go to documentation every time I wanted to install bandit. Most of the open source projects do have their installation info mentioned in their README.md.

Reproduction steps
None.
Expected behavior

Well documented installation guidelines in the README.md.

Bandit version

1.8.3 (Default)

Python version

3.13 (Default)
