Add architecture-independent protoc installation instructions
The current protoc installation instructions have several limitations:
- They assume x86_64 architecture
- The version (26.1) is hardcoded without explaining version requirements
- No verification steps are included
Consider updating to:
- wget https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v26.1/protoc-26.1-linux-x86_64.zip
- sudo unzip protoc-*-linux-x86_64.zip -d /usr/local
+ # For Ubuntu/Debian:
+ sudo apt install -y protobuf-compiler
+ # Verify installation:
+ protoc --version # Should be 3.x or higherIf a specific version is required, please document the minimum version requirement.

Document tenderdash-proto dependency requirements
Given that issue #45 specifically mentioned build failures with tenderdash-proto, we should explicitly document any specific requirements for this dependency.
Consider adding:
On other Unix-like systems, use the equivalent package management commands.
+### Additional Dependencies
+
+Some components have specific requirements:
+
+- **tenderdash-proto**: Requires Protocol Buffers Compiler (protoc) and build tools
+ - Verify installation with: `protoc --version`
+ - If you encounter build errors, ensure all dependencies are properly installed📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

💡 Codebase verification
Instructions need platform-specific dependency commands
The README currently only provides Ubuntu-specific instructions for installing dependencies, with a vague reference to "equivalent package management commands" for other Unix-like systems. However, the codebase shows the tool supports multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux). Specific instructions should be added for:
- macOS (using Homebrew)
- Windows (using vcpkg or similar)
- Other major Linux distributions (Fedora, RHEL, etc.)
The following sections need platform-specific commands:
- Build essential tools installation
- SSL development libraries
- pkg-config (Windows equivalent)
- Protocol buffer installation (currently shows Linux x86_64 specific commands)
🔗 Analysis chain
Verify instructions on other platforms
While the instructions have been verified on Ubuntu 24.04, we should ensure they work on other common platforms.
🏁 Scripts executed
The following scripts were executed for the analysis:
Script:
#!/bin/bash
# Description: Check for platform-specific installation instructions in issues/PRs
# Search for platform-specific installation issues
gh issue list --search "in:title installation" --json number,title,body --jq '.[] | select(.body | contains("Ubuntu") or contains("Debian") or contains("macOS") or contains("Windows"))'
# Search for related PRs

Do you want to do anything about CodeRabbit suggestions? If not, I will merge it in. (or you can if you're able)

Previously not all required dependencies were listed so builds failed for some users. The build was verified on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 VM using these instructions. Actual running of the app could not be tested since the VM lacked GUI support.
Closes #45
