Fix Empty Folders When Downloading as ZIP

The issue is that the lib-* and zhtp directories are Git submodules that reference external repositories. When users download the repository as a .zip file from GitHub, these directories appear empty because submodule contents are not included in .zip downloads.

Plan:

  • Analyze the issue and identify root cause (Git submodules)
  • Update README.md to add clear documentation about submodules
  • Add a dedicated "Installation" or "Getting Started" section with proper clone instructions
  • Include troubleshooting section for the .zip download issue
  • Provide alternative solutions for users who downloaded .zip files
  • Verify the documentation is clear and comprehensive
