Description

**Describe the bug**
I followed the [quick start guide](https://www.opencue.io/docs/quick-starts/quick-start-linux/) and when running `cuesubmit &`, noting happened.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Install Python 3.10 (my version is 3.10.7)
2. Follow the [quick start guide](https://www.opencue.io/docs/quick-starts/quick-start-linux/) and reach the [Testing the sandbox environment](https://www.opencue.io/docs/quick-starts/quick-start-linux/#testing-the-sandbox-environment) section
3. Continue in this section up to point 4. and run `cuesubmit &`
4. Nothing happens

**Expected behavior**
Several expected behaviours:
1. If there is no apparent error, it should launch the cuesubmit GUI
2. Since there seems to be an error while running `sandbox/install-client-archives.sh`, it would be nice to see the error when running the script
3. Maybe add in the documentation that it's been tested up to 3.9, but it might fail after that as it hasn't been tested yet

**Version Number**
I've followed the guide, so I've cloned the OpenCue repo and then entered `export VERSION=0.15.22` at some point... So I guess it's `v0.15.22`?

Research direction

Start with the quick-start Linux guide, especially the “Testing the sandbox environment” section and the `sandbox/install-client-archives.sh` script. Reproduce the `cuesubmit &` step under Python 3.10, inspect why the script shows no apparent error, and update the guide or script so the documented behavior and supported Python versions are clear.
