Description
After installing the necessary package required in the installation note, I run the first command
```
mkcert -install
ERROR: failed to execute "update-ca-certificates": exec: "update-ca-certificates": executable file not found in $PATH
```
It seems he is searching for update-ca-certificates command, but Arch is providing a sightly different command to do the same job `trust` I think this case should be taken into account to make the `mkcert -install` to run correctly.
Thank you

Research direction
Start by reproducing `mkcert -install` on an Arch-based system and trace the platform-specific certificate installation path that invokes `update-ca-certificates`. Compare the available Arch command, `trust`, with the current behavior; done means installation completes and the generated CA is trusted on Arch without breaking other supported systems.
