installer prototype #90

Open AngeloChecked opened 11 months ago

AngeloChecked commented 11 months ago

Being a somewhat lazy user of programming languages, I must admit that I'm not entirely at ease with the idea of having to navigate the nuances of installation, locating the binary, and confirming its build version...

I've been thinking about making a standard installer using a popular package manager. I'm mostly focused on myself, and right now, I'm exploring how to add something to Brew and Nixpkgs, which I use the most.

In this context, I find the Helix project on repology quite intriguing, and I'm pondering the idea of setting up an automated release pipeline for it.

@mattwparas, have you already considered this? Do you have any guidelines, concerns, or considerations about it?

Not any concerns particularly, I don't quite have the bandwidth to set up a lot of these things myself so would love the help with it!

Only thing would be any releases like this I would prefer to be done after #77 - I have a huge list of bug fixes that come along with that, and then I'll cut a new release for crates as well
