fix(install): auto-install git if not present before cloning (#192)

Browse Source 
Users running the install script via curl | bash may not have git
installed. This adds a check before attempting to clone the repo
and auto-installs git using the appropriate package manager for
the detected distribution.

Fixes issue reported on Reddit where install failed on Linux Mint
with "git command not found" error at line 170.
