Description

@DarkmatterUAE

In README.md's Using your distribution section, users are instructed to install build dependencies build-essential curl libffi-dev libffi7 libgmp3-dev libgmp10 libncurses-dev libncurses5 libtinfo5 pkg-config zlib1g-dev libnuma-dev libssl-dev, but libffi7, libncurses5 and libtinfo5 are no longer available in the latest Debian stable (Debian bookworm) or Ubuntu LTS (Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS), presented is their updated versions "libffi8 libncurses6 libtinfo6", thus can cause confusions.

Updating these packages to reflect new packages (libffi8, libncurses6 and libtinfo6) is recommended, or at least state in clear that the build instruction is based on Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS, and users who intend to build shall proceed with discretion and figure out package name on their own if the original command failed.
