Provide more complete installation instructions #2775

An EPIC -- meta issue used to track a body of work

New feature or request improvement
Summary
Two problems:
If you have a newer go version,
make install
will fail withERROR: Go version 1.20 is required for v13.0.1 of Gaia.
I tried downloading & installing go1.20 (as an addition to my go1.21.3) but then I don't know how to tell gaia to use that.
If you try by downloading the binary for macOS (darwin arm64) then the os doesn't know how to open it and no instructions are given. May it be a missing file extension? I don't know, I'm a noob.
Problem Definition
Non-expert developers and just users might want to use the gaia daemon CLI to interact with the chain, since no GUI wallet provides interfaces for all the features, hence more ELI5 are needed imho.
Proposal
Improve intallation documentation for common platforms like macOS and Windows by providing solution instructions to common errors like those I just encountered.
Thank you
