Would it be possible to create a pip installation?

Though the instructions in the docs could be quite useful, it would be simpler if there was a pip installation.
I do not have the capability to run the setup described in the docs, and I'm sure others don't either, so if it were pre-setup, and all you have to do is run the pip install, it would increase the availability.

Unfortunately while Python is prominent in RikerBot, it's really a C++ project as far as build process goes. While it is possible to teach pip to build the project, very little would be gained in simplicity because it would simply be running the required cmake command for you. None of the build requirements would change and if your system isn't set up to use the existing build process pip would fail too. For now, I think requiring users to invoke cmake specifically signposts these requirements.

Eventually it may be possible to upload a binary wheel to PyPI for Windows, so that Windows users could side-step this process. That would require a working Windows build, which would require fixing #10. Getting CI working on Windows to produce the binaries is non-trivial and not really in my skillset, I did try for a couple hours one weekend, if anyone is a Github actions wizard and can get that process working I would certainly appreciate it and would happily start doing PyPI uploads.

This is fixed, pip can now run cmake and build RikerBot. Note that none of the build requirements have changed, you can just build the project via invoking pip instead of cmake if you want.
