script to automate installation of all the pre-requisites

[muddlebee]

for substrate-contracts-node

can write a script to fetch the binary and untar it from https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node/releases and can run directly from the binary
./substrate-contracts-node --dev

Hey @muddlebee, great suggestion. May I ask what platform you are running on? In my experience it's quite hard to get such scripts right (w/o lots of efforts) and work seemlessly in different environments (operating systems, rust versions, shells, etc.). Wdyt?

[muddlebee]

@wottpal I use wsl. Yes you are right quite tedious to maintain such utility script.

However we can add commands for cargo contract installation and for cargo contract node it can downloaded the latest binary and run it for local simulation, steps mentioned here

This might be solved using the Dockerfile for contracts here. You can just run the Dockerfile regardless of the platform you're running on.

That's actually a good point, @ical10! Will close this.
