What happened?
A user reports in Discord:
python3-opencv requires the following libraries to be present:
apt update && apt install -y libglib2.0-0 libgl1-mesa-glx
we should either add this to the install script (but that will require interactivity and sudo from the user), or the docs
first investigate if other solutions also exist that don't require these libraries. maybe python-opencv-headless can be used, unless python3-opencv is a transitive dependency.

Theoretically possible, but not feasible with the amount of package managers out there.
You'd have to have a list of package managers like pacman, dnf, dpkg, portage and check which one is present.
Depending on that use the one present, search for the needed packages (they are not always named the same for every Distro) and assemble a command to install them.
Thats a lot of room for error and mistakes, i feel like it would be better to just list the dependencies and let the user install them manually.
@SammCheese yes, agreed. Besides, throwing unexpected OS package installation at the user is kind of icky. We'll take the documentation route.
