Description
For people quite new at Githube and Node, the keybase install instructions are not working.
The prerequisites page is ok (GPG and Node.js check)
Installation page:
1- No instructions about where to run the instalation code
(npm install -g keybase-installer ; keybase-installer ; keybase version ;):
---- Run the commands inside Node.js terminal? DOS prompt terminal? Instructions only for a Linux shell terminal, and not for windows ? Doubt...
Installation process for Windows should be click-install. Windows's users are not familiar with command prompt terminal.
My 2 cents.
Cheers

Research direction
Start with the installation page and compare its commands with the Windows installation process; the prerequisites page is reported as working. Clarify where Windows users should run the commands and document the intended installation flow, including whether a click-based installer is available. Done when a new Windows user can follow the page without guessing which terminal to use.
