Resolving zsh: command not found for Wails on macOS
Description
This PR addresses the issue of the zsh: command not found error that occurs when running the wails command on macOS. This error is typically caused by the Wails binary being located in the ~/go/bin directory, which is not included in the system's PATH.
The changes include instructions on how to resolve this issue by either copying the wails binary to a directory that is in the PATH or updating the ~/.zshrc file to include an alias for the wails command.
