Issue installing IoT Edge samples (Javascript) on Windows and LInux

[ksaye]

I am following: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/iot-edge-samples.

On windows I am getting:

`C:\Users\kevinsay\Desktop>mkdir gateway

C:\Users\kevinsay\Desktop>cd gateway

C:\Users\kevinsay\Desktop\gateway> git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/iot-edge-samples.git

It looks like you are in the wrong working directory… cd iot-edge-samples/js/simple
