Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I state that this is related to Publish, but this is related to the CLI as a whole (publishing included).

Users have a difficult time managing their dendron-cli, either via global or local management of dependency trees. This makes it difficult for users to get the CLI up and working, and to manage their publishing. Users work to fulfill the prerequisites of node, npm, etc. and then are either managing a dependency tree locally within every Dendron workspace, or they are installing at the global level on their system and potentially running into other pitfalls.

This can be especially challenging to non-devs, or devs who aren't experienced with Node.js

Describe the solution you'd like

Providing standalone packages/binaries of dendron-cli would be amazing. This would help skip a variety of prereqs that users normally need to fulfill to otherwise use the cli on their workstations, or manage it within their publishing pipelines.

Potential avenues:

• flatpak (for Linux systems)
  • Can be bundles, and have published updates, making it easy for a variety of Linux systems to use out-of-box
• appimage (for Linux systems)
• pkg (looks like this can make executables for Linux, MacOS, and Windows)
• others

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using standard packaging formats (not ideal, packaging can be a very annoying thing to setup and maintain over time, unless people are knowledgeable):

• msi
• dmg
• deb
• rpm
• etc.

Additional context

For linux there is also .app packaging option . I'm interested too in having this.

[seraph]

This would be particularly useful on Windows where nodejs etc. are really sticky and complex to manage, and most developers would (hopefully) be using WSL to setup their node development environments.
