Pre-commit install instructions may be wrong

[WandererFan]

On Linux Mint 20.3, I could not locate pre-commit using Synaptic or command "apt install pre-commit".

I was able to install something called pre-commit using "pip install pre-commit" and install it in Source/FreeCAD with "pre-commit install".

Not sure if the instructions should be changed or if I've installed the wrong thing.

Since Ubuntu 22.04 there exists a .deb package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pre-commit&searchon=names&suite=jammy&section=all For older versions the package doesn't exist yet. So, maybe your Mint version is too old.

@WandererFan I've expanded on those instructions since you posted this Issue -- is the current description adequate? https://github.com/FreeCAD/DevelopersHandbook/blob/master/gettingstarted/index.md#setting-up-for-development
