CLI install instructions no longer current?

The CLI seems to need some additional undocumented system dependencies, at least in windows and while I'd prefer to be working within WSL2 - that's not supported, so here we are.

 

From a fresh install using:

Node LTS: v16.13.0

NPM: 8.1.0 

 

and running:

npx create-fitbit-app <app name> 

 

Now fails with a unmet node-gyp dependency first for python, and then for Visual Studio components (so far)?  Fair enough if they are needed, but please update the docs if so...
