Sherlock: The install script only works on Debian based Linux distros

[sdushantha]

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.

I din't think that. Let me give it a try for the basic distos and I'll let you know.

I agree with @sdushantha. Actually, we don't need to use the install script. (If it's required for someone, it has to write an installation script for each distribution.

Fedora: Yum(DNF)
OpenSuse: Zypper
Arch: Pacman
And etc...

Just a note, I dont think everyone wants to download the dependencies globally. Some might want to download them locally.

Global Install

pip3 install xyz

Local Install

pip3 install --user xyz

Ok, so do you want me to add a question before "_pip3 install_" commands?

@theodosisathanasakis
Yeah, that would be nice

[theodosisathanasakis]

@sdushantha It's done!

I think this issue has been solved as #92 is merged to master.
