Provide build instructions for non-CentOS linux distros #103

Open ireed opened 1 year ago

ireed commented 1 year ago

Linux instructions are only for CentOS (7?). This OS will not be supported soon, and most people are migrating to other CentOS-like systems. Therefore, installation instructions need to be edited to include other linux releases that people are using - preferably ubuntu and rocky linux .

This is an extension of my previous issue (#99). The installation instructions need editing, since the current linux assumptions are likely not compatible with most user's environments. Examples of other related issues: #51 , #101, #56

Hello! I explained our current status in this post, but you are right about Cent OS 7! We are currently migrating to Rocky Linux 9 within the studio. You will see support for that distribution shortly.

The latest release has preliminary support for Rocky 9.
