Installation Guide: Required Dependencies for Supported Operating Systems and Distributions

[shakatoday]

The installation guide currently lacks detailed information on the dependencies required for various supported operating systems and distributions. To help users set up the project smoothly, we should add a section in docs/installation.md that outlines the dependencies for each supported OS and distro (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, macOS, etc.). This will ensure that users have a clear understanding of the prerequisites and can avoid common setup issues.

Are you running into an issue with a specific distro? I believe HELM should work on Ubuntu and MacOS; Debian hasn't been tested but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

There is a known issue that HELM doesn't work on Windows; see #2907.

Oh, sorry it's for Developer setup, so it should be docs/developer_setup.md

For Ubuntu, it's quite trivial such as build-essential and unzip.
Even though they are trivial, some open-source projects include git in their setup dependencies if a distro needs it.

This issue should be a very low priority I think.

On the other hand, do you think that the setup of cuda should be mentioned in both docs/installation.md and docs/developer_setup.md?
