docs: one copy-paste line for first launch (+ drag fallback)
Lead the first-launch step with a single paste-into-Terminal line that finds
the freshly-unzipped folder in Downloads and runs the setup, with the
drag-the-.command method kept as a fallback for other locations. Closest thing
to the 'one button' the operator wanted, given macOS strips the run-flag from
ZIP downloads.
