Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/451

Environment

Operating system (including version): Ubuntu 20.04
mkcert version (from mkcert -version): v1.4.4
Server (where the certificate is loaded):
Client (e.g. browser, CLI tool, or script):

What you did

mkcert -install

What went wrong

ERROR: failed to execute "update-ca-trust extract": exit code 1
sudo: update-ca-trust: command not found

When calling the mkcert -install, I get an error because I have a directory specific to CentOS/RedHat. But, I have a different OS and there is a specific path for it.

github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert@2a46726ceb/truststore_linux.go (L36)

I think that it is necessary to change the definition method to get rid of this problem.

Remove or rename temporary directories specific for CentOS/RedHat or manually invoke commands to update the certificate store for Ubuntu
