windows section for Install clusterctl in quick start

[ykakarap]

Given that now we are shipping a windows amd64 version of clusterctl should we add a Windows section to the Install clusterctl section of the quickstart?

This would imply that the rest of the quick start flow also needs to be evaluated for the same.

@ykakarap: The label(s) kind/docs cannot be applied, because the repository doesn't have them.

I wonder how similar the quickstart is for Windows / how much we have to change / add branching for

[ykakarap]

I am not sure either. Will have to run through the quickstart on a windows machine to figure out how much and what needs to change.

Steps for installing clusterctl on windows :

1. Go to the working directory where you want clusterctl downloaded.
2. run curl -o clusterctl.exe "https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/releases/download/v1.1.1/clusterctl-windows-amd64.exe"
3. Add the path of that directory to path environment variable.
4. run clusterctl version command to crosscheck proper working ✌️

/milestone v1.2
That would be a nice addition

@VibhorChinda Would you want to open a PR to add this section to the quick start guide?

[VibhorChinda]

@ykakarap I would love to.
Can you please point out the path of the file where need to add this section in the repo.

@VibhorChinda Great!

You will need to modify this file:

cluster-api/docs/book/src/user/quick-start.md

Lines 95 to 162 in 8f82de9

	### Install clusterctl
	The clusterctl CLI tool handles the lifecycle of a Cluster API management cluster.
	{{#tabs name:"install-clusterctl" tabs:"linux,macOS,homebrew"}}
	{{#tab linux}}
	#### Install clusterctl binary with curl on linux
	Download the latest release; on linux, type:
	```
	curl -L {{#releaselink gomodule:"sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api" asset:"clusterctl-linux-amd64" version:"1.1.x"}} -o clusterctl
	```
	Make the clusterctl binary executable.
	```
	chmod +x ./clusterctl
	```
	Move the binary in to your PATH.
	```
	sudo mv ./clusterctl /usr/local/bin/clusterctl
	```
	Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
	```
	clusterctl version
	```
	{{#/tab }}
	{{#tab macOS}}
	#### Install clusterctl binary with curl on macOS
	Download the latest release; on macOS, type:
	```
	curl -L {{#releaselink gomodule:"sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api" asset:"clusterctl-darwin-amd64" version:"1.1.x"}} -o clusterctl
	```
	Or if your Mac has an M1 CPU ("Apple Silicon"):
	```
	curl -L {{#releaselink gomodule:"sigs.k8s.io/cluster-api" asset:"clusterctl-darwin-arm64" version:"1.1.x"}} -o clusterctl
	```
	Make the clusterctl binary executable.
	```
	chmod +x ./clusterctl
	```
	Move the binary in to your PATH.
	```
	sudo mv ./clusterctl /usr/local/bin/clusterctl
	```
	Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
	```
	clusterctl version
	```
	{{#/tab }}
	{{#tab homebrew}}
	#### Install clusterctl with homebrew on macOS and linux
	Install the latest release using homebrew:
	```bash
	brew install clusterctl
	```
	Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:
	```
	clusterctl version
	```
	{{#/tab }}
	{{#/tabs }}

Lines 95-162 have the section for the individual tabs for the clusterctl install step.
You can copy the section for one of the existing tabs and modify it as needed for windows.

To render the book locally you can run make serve-book. (The markdown does not render properly in most editor's default renderer). You can use this to verify your changes.
