Update Linux install instructions

[privatezero]

Updated Linux install docs to simplify the process and remove out of date information - this process is working in my VM test so far.

one nit, but LGTM

You could also add a test in the linux-dependencies.sh‎ script and, if not already installed, do it.

Bit of a catch-22 though, because ideally people will use curl to run linux-dependencies.sh, so can't really have it run a check to see if curl is present if they need curl to run it.

[retokromer]

Indeed! Then my nit is void.

If curl is not yet installed, then wget would also do the trick:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/refs/heads/linux-doc-updates/Release/linux-dependencies.sh | bash

I guess, wget comes with Ubuntu? If that is correct, then wget could check and when needed install curl.

(I personally prefer curl for many reasons.)

[privatezero]

Good point - wget is included out of the box. I think I'll shift the recommended command here to wget and then add curl into the dependencies script. I don't think it's even necessary to do a check really, as apt-get will just skip it if it is already installed. Either way, curl is necessary for running the following Homebrew install step, so it will have to be installed one way or another.

Just made that change and squished it - thanks for the suggestion!

[retokromer]

Good point indeed, apt-get needs it!

@dericed @bturkus, anyone else have thoughts about this? Good to merge?

[dericed]

LGTM. thx for all this documentation
