This will create a new directory called markdown-edit in your current working directory.

Step 3: Build and install Markdown Edit

Navigate to the markdown-edit directory and use the following command to build and install Markdown Edit:

nix-build release.nix

This will create a new directory called result in your current working directory. Inside the result directory, you will find the MarkdownEdit.exe file, which is the Markdown Edit executable.
