Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/319

Following the Building from source instructions for the first time, make test hangs without any feedback, e.g.:

In the background, it's actually downloading nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04, a >6GB image that can take a while.
Pulling the image first (e.g., docker pull nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04) before running make test gives the user better feedback.

Possible Solutions

Make the default image much more slim so that users don't wait long without feedback (e.g., https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/196)
Update Building from source to include docker pull instructions before running make test (e.g., https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/320)
