Could not build due to dependencies

[saibotsivad]

I'm very fresh to rust, so hopefully I'm missing something that's really obvious 😅

OS

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Nothing fancy, it's really just the vanilla install.

What I did

Installed rust using rustup

Did a git clone of this repo

Went into the root folder of the cloned repo

Ran the command cargo build --release

What I expect to happen

The build happens and exits successfully, presumably?

What actually happens

I get this error:

Some crates require native C toolchain tools to compile, for Ubuntu installing build-essential should fix it.
