docs(readme): update pip install instructions to be relative to root project directory

[rguan72]

Description

It's a bit confusing because these pip install commands need to be run relative to one folder above the root onyx folder. I think we should give the commands relative to running them from the main onyx folder (so you'd run these right after clone)

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the pip install instructions in the CONTRIBUTING.md documentation to use relative paths from the project root directory. The change modifies four pip install commands (lines 106-109) by removing the onyx/ prefix from the file paths, changing them from onyx/backend/requirements/*.txt to backend/requirements/*.txt.

This documentation improvement standardizes the contribution guide to assume developers are working from the root project directory, which aligns with the typical workflow where contributors clone the repository and work from within it. The change makes the documentation more consistent, as other commands throughout the file (like Docker commands and directory navigation instructions) already assume the developer is positioned at the project root. This creates a more coherent and user-friendly setup experience for new contributors.

Confidence score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk as it only updates documentation paths
• Score reflects a simple documentation fix with no functional code changes that could cause runtime issues
• No files require special attention as this is purely a documentation update
