The installation script for Betty includes the mandb command, which is not available on macOS. This results in an error message (mandb: command not found) when the script is run on a macOS system.
Impact:
This issue causes confusion and may lead users to believe that the installation process has failed, even though Betty is
installed correctly.
Proposed Solution:
Modify the installation script to check the operating system type. If the script detects macOS (darwin), it should skip the mandb command and display a message indicating that this step is not necessary. On Linux systems, the script should execute mandb as usual.
Testing:
The modified script has been tested on both macOS and Linux systems to ensure that it behaves as expected, skipping the mandb command on macOS and executing it on Linux.
