Add warning in installation docs regarding misleading apt-get #55

Closed luccareinehr closed 2 years ago

luccareinehr commented 2 years ago

Inexperienced users of Ubuntu may naively try installing NETGEN with sudo apt-get install netgen (works with magic). This command executes, but installs a different application called netgen, apparently a finite elements mesh generator...

The pull request is just a suggestion to warn that, since netgen is sometimes part of a larger list of dependencies from other applications.
