Feature request: Separate install script into online and offline sections about vadr HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @kislyuk , I modified the install script in the install-iss36 branch to optionally work in two separate steps as you suggested, e.g.

./vadr-install.sh linux download
./vadr-install.sh build

Where linux could alternatively be macosx. The download step requires internet access but the build step does not (although it only works if the download step was already performed from the same directory).

The previous usage (e.g. ./vadr-install.sh linux) still works also, and does both the download and build steps.

Please take a look and let me know if this is sufficient to make vadr easier to package for what you're interested in. Thanks.

@nawrockie thank you so much, this is definitely an improvement! Dividing the install flow into two parts like this will allow us to download the dependency files in advance, and then install VADR into our Docker images reliably and reproducibly.

@kislyuk , good, I'm glad this will be helpful. I've merged the install-iss36 branch with the main development branch (develop) so this will go into the next release of vadr. I'm not sure of the timeframe though.
