Adding documentation for Debain users
While building Magic from source on Debian-based systems, I noticed that several required development dependencies aren’t listed in the README. Without these, new users (especially students) may run into errors during
./configureandmake.This PR adds a concise “Quick Install on Debian/Ubuntu” section to the
READMEto help users set up all necessary packages before building. I believe this will save time and frustration for future learners and contributors.If preferred, I can move this section into a dedicated
INSTALL_debian.mdfile instead.
