libpcre.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Trying to install Lucky and try it out.

I'm on Linux Mint 21 using the manual install instructions.

When I run the shards build --production command I get this error:

➜  lucky_cli git:(v1.0.0-rc1) shards build --production
Dependencies are satisfied
Building: lucky
Error target lucky failed to compile:

In lib/teeplate/src/lib/file_tree.cr:8:10

To fix I had to uninstall Crystal that I installed with linuxbrew. Then I had to install Crystal using the deb option.

For some reason I also had to install this after:

wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb

If you get ssl errors this fixed it for me. The core team says this is not necessary for most so don't install this unless you need it like me.
