✨ nodekit installation failing on Debian 13 #174

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

sudo wget -qO- https://nodekit.run/install.sh | bash

nodekit installation script doesn't work for the new release of Debian (13) because it's trying to download some package that has been removed from Debian repository, making the installation process stop.

The problem originates from this line in internal/algod/linux/linux.go.

This package (software-properties-common) was removed from the Debian repository :
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1579223/software-properties-removed-from-testing

https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist%40lists.debian.org/msg2049348.html

EDIT: Just saw that the manual installation of a node is also dependent on software-properties-common so the missing package will impact that too.

Describe the solution you'd like
Installation script should probably be updated to work without this package.

Describe alternatives you've considered
