[DOC]: Missing DevKit installation in CONTRIBUTING file

[klepp0]

What's wrong?

Following the CONTRIBUTING.md fails when trying to execute make unit_testing:

1. Get the code on your local:

# Clone and change location directory of the superduperdb repository, change the `<FORKED_NAME>` to your GitHub id
git clone git@github.com:<FORKED_NAME>/superduperdb.git
cd superduperdb

2. Set up your python environment:

# Create your Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv

# Activate the Python virtual environment
. .venv/bin/activate  

3. Install the dependencies:

# Install pip-tools and latest version of pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip-tools

# Install the superduperdb project in editable mode along with the developer tools
python3 -m pip install -e '.'
python3 -m pip install -r deploy/installations/testenv_requirements.txt

4. Run unit tests:

$ make unit_testing
pytest  ./test/unittest/
make: pytest: No such file or directory
make: *** [unit_testing] Error 1

How could it be better?

Including the make install_devkit command in the setup instructions would ensure a smoother setup and ensure more consistent development environments 🙂🚀

Thanks for pointing out - have you seen this in the .github/ci_code.yml workflow? We have missed make install_devkit.

Good point, I didn't go deeper than the contribution file yet. I guess I used the wrong template then.
