Issue Description

When i install ZK Stack CLI with cargo, it fails to install because there are some more missing dependencies in the installation which it expects.

Expected Behavior

I expect it to install all dependencies by default when running cargo install --git https://github.com/matterlabs/zksync-era/ --locked zkstack --force.

Is it possible to have this directly in the installation?

Current Behavior

It will break the installation with the current version of zkstack. I had to restart the installation 3 times, installed the missing dependencies before and then it was good to go.

On Windows before doing the cargo install part, do this:

sudo apt install make pkg-config libssl-dev

Same for macOS with brew:

brew install make pkg-config libssl-dev
