Update asdf installation guide

[kkawula]

Which components does the task require to be changed? (think hard pls)

snforge, sncast

Description

One of the possibilities of installing starknet-foundry is installing by asdf, Lots of users don't know how to set starknet-foundry version in asdf properly, and they get such error while trying to use snforge or sncast without globally set tool version or without .toolversions file in working dir:

No version is set for command snforge
Consider adding one of the following versions in your config file at 
starknet-foundry 0.31.0

Update the guide section in docs by warning example and solution snippet. Add an example for changing tool version.

How I plan on tackling this issue

i will update the asdf installation guide for starknet-foundry by including a clear warning and a solution snippet that explains how to properly set the starknet-foundry version. Specifically, I will add instructions on ensuring that users set the tool version either globally or within their project directory using the .tool-versions file to avoid errors like "No version is set for command snforge/sncast." The update will also include a practical example demonstrating how to add the tool version using asdf global starknet-foundry 0.31.0 or asdf local starknet-foundry 0.31.0 within the project directory. Additionally, I will ensure that the documentation clearly highlights the importance of having the correct tool version set. Once the changes are made, I will review and verify the updated guide to ensure it is easy to follow for users. ETA - 2 days

My background and how it can be leveraged

I am a full-stack and Web3 developer with experience in blockchain tools like StarkNet and Cairo. I have worked with Cairo, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Solidity, and I’m skilled in managing development environments and toolchain dependencies. I’ve also used package managers such as asdf, npm.

How I plan on tackling this issue

To resolve the issue, I would first replicate it by using snforge or sncast in an environment without a global tool version or a .tool-versions file. After confirming the error, I would research how to properly set the StarkNet Foundry version with asdf, ensuring that users understand both global and local setups. I would then update the documentation with a warning about the error.

How I plan on tackling this issue

To update the documentation for installing starknet-foundry via asdf, follow these steps:

1. Identify Key Components: Determine which sections of the snforge and sncast documentation need updates regarding the asdf installation process and version management.

2. Create Warning and Example: Add a warning in the relevant documentation sections to highlight the error message users encounter when no version is set. Provide a solution snippet that shows how to add a version to the .tool-versions file.

3. Example of Version Change: Include an example demonstrating how to change the tool version using asdf commands, ensuring users understand the correct syntax and steps to avoid errors.

4. Review and Test Changes: Ensure that all changes are clear, concise, and tested to verify they address user concerns effectively.

5. Submit Changes: Commit the updates to the documentation and notify relevant stakeholders for review.

To come up with a comprehensive and correct documentation I’ll take the following steps: 1.⁠ ⁠I’ll go to the relevant guide section in the documentation and add a warning section to inform users about the importance of setting the version correctly when using asdf for starknet-foundry. Then I’ll provide a detailed explanation of how to set the correct tool version for snforge and sncast. 2.⁠ ⁠⁠I’ll provide example snippet for .tool-versions and explain. I’ll demonstrate how to globally set the tool version and also provide a command to set it locally. 3.⁠ ⁠⁠I’ll include an example error message in the guide to show what users will see if the version isn’t set and a brief troubleshooting step to help them resolve it quickly.
