Fix regex in read_configuration function For MacOS
Description
This pull request corrects a command in a setup script that fails to parse configuration values correctly on macOS. Specifically, when attempting to extract the MongoDB version from config/overleaf.rc, the existing sed command returns the entire line MONGO_VERSION=7.0 instead of the required value 7.0.
The issue originates from fundamental differences between the GNU sed implementation (common on Linux) and the BSD sed implementation (used by macOS). The script's regular expression relies on behavior specific to GNU sed, causing the substitution to fail silently on macOS.
To resolve this and enhance script portability, this change replaces the non-portable sed command with the universally available cut command. The modified pipeline continues to use grep to isolate the target line, but then passes the result to cut. Using the equals sign = as a delimiter, cut cleanly extracts the version value. This approach is simple, avoids the complexities of cross-platform regular expressions, and guarantees consistent behavior across both Linux and macOS environments.
