Description

I'm testing now on linux, following the guide
https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/INSTALL_FROM_GITHUB.md

so the install script now changed to

scripts/dev/download_libs.sh -p linux64

but it doesnt work. it points to a 404 path:
ideas? @ofTheo @danoli3

Research direction

Start with INSTALL_FROM_GITHUB.md and scripts/dev/download_libs.sh, then reproduce the Linux install command and inspect the generated Apothecary release URL. Done means the documented command reaches an available archive instead of the reported 404 and completes the library installation.
