"Install Drupal CMS locally with DDEV” assumes unix/linux cli

Just for the record: DDEV is pushing WSL very hard, so it's unlikely that you don't have a Bash CLI if you have DDEV - either on Linux, MacOs or on Windows via WSL.

I suggest making it clear that we follow the "Recommended, best performance, most reliable" solution (on Windows) - using "Using WSL2 with Docker inside".

They will quite possibly have a Bash CLI. Especially if they are a new user, though, it may not be clear at all that they need to use it.

I don't see how a new (Windows) user installing DDEV in WSL can avoid being exposed / informed about the terminal.

Now you can use the “Ubuntu” terminal app or Windows Terminal to access your Ubuntu distro, which has DDEV and Docker working inside it

AFAICT the "ddev" command doesn't even work in PowerShell or in Cmd if you install it inside WSL.

In Step #1 we write "Confirm that it is installed on your machine by running the command ddev --version in the Terminal." This is the point where we might loose a Windows user if he/she has forgotten that this is the Ubuntu terminal. If you pass this point, running "./launch-drupal-cms.sh" in the terminal should not be a problem.

For the record / slightly off-topic: I tested very quickly in my Ubuntu and I manage to make two "mistakes":

1. I managed to unzip the zip file so launch-drupal-cms.sh wasn't executable. "./launch-drupal-cms.sh" just gave "Permission denied".
   
   Suggested solution: Use "bash launch-drupal-cms.sh" as command. It doesn't require executable bit and it makes it clear that bash is needed.
2. Running the launcher gave "Apptype must be one of backdrop, cakephp, craftcms, django4, drupal, drupal6, drupal7, laravel ..." and nothing starting. (My ddev was outdated.) This will not happen to a new user of course
   
   Suggested solution: Add a version check in the launcher script so too old ddevs are detected.

The Drupal CMS documentation is currently canonically at https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal_cms/-/tree/1.x/docs?ref_type=h... and then copied over to new.drupal.org
