Bash script to automate installation

[deprov447]

Issue

A user has to go through a lot of manual steps to build and start the application. Most of the steps are very script-based and can be easily automated

Resolution

Create a script that user can download to install the application

Script should be able to:

• Clone this repository
• Install all the dependencies: This can be a tricky thing, because of different package names on each distribution and different ways to install the application. Look at the bottom for some ideas
• Build the source code
• Install the generated binary

For dependency installation issue, either we can make separate scripts for separate distributions or ask the user to choose their distribution.
