I hit a CMake configure error: Could NOT find CURL when building on Ubuntu. The build guide mentions that curl is enabled by default and can be disabled, but doesn’t list the packages to install. This PR adds distro-specific install one-liners (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL, Arch) below the curl note to help first-time builders avoid the error. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04: reinstalling libcurl4-openssl-dev allowed CMake to find CURL successfully.
