Updated install instructions for R14 or alpha/preview build
Hello,
I spent better part of this day trying to get R14 to work. I like to try python scripting inside Gremlin but unfortunately Windows nor Python are not my daily development stack.
I see there are joystick_gremlin.py and jg_qml.py which I can only assume to be an old and a new version.
The furthest I was able to get was:

Getting back to R13.3 for the time being but hopefully You'll be able to help me get local build to working state and/or provide nightly/preview/alpha build soon.
Cheers and ❤️
Keeping fingers crossed for further Joystick Gremlin development as tool you created is just wonderful!

The requirements.txt file contains the packages that should be required, the other important bit to know is that the Python version I'm currently using is 3.9 64bit. However, all the being said there is no point in attempting to play with that particular branch at this time as it is effectively non functional, i.e. a messy construction site where I break things at will.
