Beginner-level instructions

Beginner instructions for installing runCellpose, runStarDist, and all other plugins with CellProfiler from source:

Clone this repository into a folder (PLUGIN_DIRECTORY) on your local computer:
```
cd PLUGIN_DIRECTORY
git clone https://github.com/CellProfiler/CellProfiler-plugins.git
```
Alternatively download zip and manually extract to PLUGIN_DIRECTORY.
Install required dependencies:
```
cd CellProfiler-plugins
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
To install CellProfiler-plugins on a windows machine with support for the deep learning module ClassifyPixels-UNet make sure you have Visual Studio 2017 installed then use
```
cd CellProfiler-plugins
pip install -r requirements-windows.txt
```
Configure CellProfiler plugins directory in the GUI via Preferences > CellProfiler plugins directory (you will need to restart CellProfiler for the change to take effect). When running CellProfiler via the command line, use the --plugins-directory flag to specify the plugins directory, for example:
```
cellprofiler --run --run-headless --project PROJECT_FILE --plugins-directory PLUGIN_DIRECTORY/CellProfiler-plugins
```

If using the RunImageJScript module, please note:

You will also need to install Maven
CellProfiler will need to be built from source due to the requirement of additional libraries
