[BUG] Example from readme does not work on windows

[MarcusVoelker]

Description

manim-slides and manim are installed in a virtual environment via conda.

Trying to run the BasicExample from the readme gives

(c:\Users\voelker\Documents\CFFAP\Manim\testing\.conda) PS C:\Users\voelker\Documents\CFFAP\Manim\testing> .\.conda\Scripts\manim-slides.exe render scene.py BasicExample     
Usage: manim-slides present [OPTIONS] [SCENES]...

Error: Invalid value for '--folder': Directory 'slides' does not exist.

Creating the missing folder instead gives

(c:\Users\voelker\Documents\CFFAP\Manim\testing\.conda) PS C:\Users\voelker\Documents\CFFAP\Manim\testing> .\.conda\Scripts\manim-slides.exe render scene.py
Usage: manim-slides present [OPTIONS] [SCENES]...

Error: File slides\render.json does not exist, check the scene name and make sure to use Slide as your scene base class

Using present instead of render also does not help:

(c:\Users\voelker\Documents\CFFAP\Manim\testing\.conda) PS C:\Users\voelker\Documents\CFFAP\Manim\testing> .\.conda\Scripts\manim-slides.exe present scene.py BasicExample
Usage: manim-slides present [OPTIONS] [SCENES]...

Error: File slides\scene.py.json does not exist, check the scene name and make sure to use Slide as your scene base class

Hello @MarcusVoelker, creating those file manually will not help, as they need to be generated during the rendering process :-)

The command \.conda\Scripts\manim-slides.exe render scene.py BasicExample will only work as of Manim Slides v5.1, which I hope to release soon, sorry for the mismatch between documentation and releases :/

In the meantime, you can render using manim render scene.py BasicExample and present after. The render command was added in v5.1.

I figured, but I thought I'd include that I tried it, covering all bases.

Yep, that works beautifully, thanks for the quick reply!
