Pull request overview
This PR improves the install.sh bootstrap installer by adding upfront dependency checks, Linux libc detection (glibc vs musl), and post-install validation to give users clearer next steps when installation succeeds but execution fails due to missing runtime requirements.
Changes:
- Added helper functions to detect required commands, Linux distro/libc, and provide install suggestions.
- Added an early failure path for musl-based Linux systems (e.g., Alpine) where the prebuilt binary won’t run.
- Added a post-install
--versioncheck to surface missing shared libraries with distro-specific guidance.

Mostly some clarifying questions. Will be ok to approve once I have some additional context.

What
Does some dependency checks when running the install script. Also allow to optionally try to install dependencies, including setting up rust:
Just checking
Installing all dependencies
Building, deploying and invoking contract
Why
So the user knows better next steps if they don't have all the dependencies already installed.
Known limitations
