Description
while it is supported, when trying to init a new wails project on centos I get this error

Error: Library 'webkit2gtk3-devel' not found. Please install with `sudo yum install webkit2gtk3-devel` and try again

in Centos there is no such package webkit2gtk3-devel

I am on it, but while I work the PR for centos, should I check the rest of supported distros as well just to be 100% sure?

ps. the _better_ issue report will get delayed a few hours I'm afraid, this seems more urgent :)

Looks like we finally have to use the version number from distro detection.

fedora is broken too, and safe to assume redhat as well?

[root@wails-fedora-test ~]# yum install webkit2gtk-devel gtk3-devel

No match for argument: webkit2gtk-devel
Error: Unable to find a match

did we decide if we will go with webkitgtk3-devel or webkitgtk4-devel for centos?
fedora needs yet a different package apparently :-p I am trying to find it..

EDIT: on fedora we need webkit2gtk3-devel
