# Download and install Geth all-tools from the geth store website as the PPA only has the
# latest versions of Geth.
# We were facing some issues in CI with the 1.16.* versions of geth, and specifically on
# Ubuntu. Eventually, we found out that the last version of geth that worked in our CI was
# version 1.15.11. Thus, this is the version that we want to use in CI. The PPA sadly does
# not have historic versions of Geth and therefore we need to resort to downloading pre
# built binaries for Geth and the surrounding tools which is what the following parts of
# the script do.
