Description
install.py uses the deprecated method platform.linux_distribution()
There does not appear to be a built-in replacement.
It also uses Python2, whereas all the other scripts use Python3.
It's not clear if the script is still needed.

Research direction
Start by reading install.py and searching the repository for references to determine whether it is still used; compare its Python version and platform.linux_distribution() usage with the other scripts. Done means the project has a clear decision on retaining, replacing, or removing it, with the deprecated-method and Python2 concerns resolved.
