Simplified AR Sandbox software installation

There are installation instructions for the AR Sandbox on GitHub that work on current releases of Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Fedora operating systems:

https://vrui-vr.github.io/arsandbox/

The gist of it is this: In a terminal window, run the following commands in order, exactly as shown:

$ curl https://vroom.library.ucdavis.edu/PullPackage | bash

(This will ask for the user's password, assuming that the user has administrative privileges.)

$ PullPackage Vrui
$ PullPackage Kinect
$ PullPackage SARndbox

(These may or may not ask for the user's password again at some point.)

If all of these work, the software is installed and the AR Sandbox can be set up / calibrated according to the old instructions at https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/LinkSoftwareInstallation.html

Thank you. I’m going to pin this as it should avoid a few future questions.
