#1425

Implementation

This pull request adds a new installation script for Processing on Linux. The script supports multiple installation methods: snap, flatpak, AUR, direct .deb download, and Nix.

When run without options, it detects the user's distribution and available package managers, then suggests the most appropriate method. Users can also specify a method with --method, preview actions with --dry-run, or skip prompts with --yes.

The script checks for existing installations before proceeding and cleans up temporary files on exit.

to put the test in the appropriate directory, id have to java files to
grade build configs, because it currently only checks for kotlin tests.
create a temp zip file > create a destination that is a file not a
directory (guaranteed exception) -> unzip throws ioexception because it
expects a directory not a file -> catch it -> check if the zip file is
still open -> if true == leak.
Ive also removed the test since its OS specific, and new code is
supposed to be in kotlin.
This script provides an automated way to install processing on linux
systems. It supports multiple installation methods (snap, flatpak, AUR,
direct .deb, Nix, and tarball) and can auto-detect the best method based
on the distribution and available package managers.
