Description

As per title, progressing with the installation I noticed that ctags is not available and the current installation scripts do not took this into account.

```
ctags -R --exclude=.git --exclude=node_modules --exclude=dist --exclude=env .
make: ctags: Command not found
Makefile:83: recipe for target 'generate-tags' failed
make: *** [generate-tags] Error 127
```

Research direction

Start with the Makefile around line 83 and the installation scripts to trace the generate-tags target and how dependencies are installed. Verify the installation path on the supported environment, then confirm that ctags is available before generate-tags runs and that the reported command completes successfully.
