Unit Test Across supported OSes Using Docker [Suggestion] #32

I wanted to throw out an improvement suggestion, which is to launch docker containers and set up a .travis.yml file to create a matrix of tests for each supported OS.

We could put in a flag or something to dump the output into a file and use that to verify the installation was successful.

We've modified the installation script to basically determine the Linux operating system using the base package management system. What I've noticed is that assuming some of the basic commands in the script are available in the operating system, causes issues since some packages aren't installed.
