Why do we need it?

The purpose of this enhancement is to create a Chocolatey package for the ksctl CLI tool. Currently, there is no Chocolatey package available for easy installation and management of ksctl. By creating a Chocolatey package, we can provide a convenient way for users to install and update ksctl on Windows systems using the Chocolatey package manager.

What it will bring?

Creating a Chocolatey package for ksctl will bring the following benefits:

Simplified installation: Users will be able to install ksctl with a single command using Chocolatey, eliminating the need for manual downloads and configurations.
Easy updates: With the Chocolatey package, users can easily update ksctl to the latest version by running a simple command, ensuring they have access to the latest features and bug fixes.
Consistency: A Chocolatey package will provide a standardized installation method across Windows systems, ensuring that users have a consistent experience when installing ksctl.
Integration with existing workflows: Many users already utilize Chocolatey for managing software packages on their Windows machines. By offering a Chocolatey package, ksctl can integrate seamlessly into their existing workflows and package management systems.

Current Progress:

Created pkg folder.
Inside the pkg folder, created the choco folder.
Inside the choco folder, created the chocolateyinstall.ps1 script.
Created the ksctl.nuspec file.

Challenges Faced: At this stage, I encountered the following challenge:

I need to provide the URL for the build release of the ksctl .exe file to include in the Chocolatey package. Currently, I don't have the .exe file, as it needs to be downloaded during the package installation from the internet.

Required Guidance: I am seeking guidance on the following steps to proceed:

Building the ksctl CLI binary and generating the .exe file.
Publishing the ksctl CLI binary as a release and obtaining the download URL.
Updating the chocolateyinstall.ps1 script with the correct URL for the ksctl binary.
Any additional steps required to successfully create the Chocolatey package.
