I have updated my node (which contain C code) to use `gpiod` and `libgpiod` as WiringPi is no longer supported. These are needed during the npm install script which compiles the code using `node-gyp`.

Is there any way to automatically install these operating system / compile library dependencies using the Manage Palette option, or do I need to include a manual step in the README?

e.g. `sudo apt-get gpiod libgpiod`

Since it may be an alpine or non apt based linux box, this is not advisable. Also, consider windows users.
