Provide installers for package managers such as Scoop and Chocolatey #29

Closed jonlandrum closed 1 year ago

jonlandrum commented 2 years ago

It would be nice to be able to automatically install and uninstall Expect using a preferred package manager, such as Scoop or Chocolatey. Information regarding contributing to these:

I don't know if Expect can run as a self-contained executable or not, but there are options (at least with Scoop, there are) for installing system-wide to the C:\ drive, if that's a requirement.

I have created the manifest file of scoop installer for Expect.Lua Now, you can install Expect.Lua as below.

scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hymkor/expect/master/expect.json

After a few version-up and if no problems are found, I will make the pull-request to add the Expect's entry into https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main .

I will reinstall via this method to test it in addition to what testing you've done.

Installing manually works as expected:
