Description
There is currently a "build essentials" step in the release that fetch build utilities for ubuntu (gcc, cmake, etc). Since SmartSim is now a python only wheel, this step should be unnecessary. We should remove it from the CI.
Justification
This is an unnecessary step that we can remove to save time in our CI.
Implementation Strategy
Remove the block of code highlighted here, push to Test PyPI, pull the package and ensure the test suite still passes.
Acceptance Criteria
- Remove the highlighted code block
- Push to Test PyPI
- Pull the package
- Ensure Test Suite Passes
