The install script only works on Debian based Linux distros

See original GitHub issue

There is a bash script which installs all of the packages automatically and that is great! But there is one drawback though, it wont work in Arch based distros (Manjaro, ArchLabs, etc). That is because those distros use pacman instead of apt to download the packages.

In my opinion, I dont think that it is good idea to have that script unless we add support to other distros as well.
