Ways of install & update

[oovm]

• [ ] figure out how to install & update the plugin for beginners

[oovm]

Let's imagine a potential user.

What kind of installation does he want?

---

First, he/she'll the readme first.

So put a install-script on that?

---

Well, I don't want to update readme frequently, I mean , I may forget update the script.

An alternative way, put a link to the true install-script.

---

So the install.m undertake all tasks, install/check and update.

[oovm]

What should be included in the script?

Ok, first check the vision.

Then catch the latest release

Last, download and install the plugin.

---

Github API seems a nice way to get the vision.

get=HTTPRequest["https://api.github.com/repos/wjxway/ZhihuLink-Mathematica/releases/latest"];

Let's make a Get Request

url=api["upload_url"]
assets=api["assets"]//First//Dataset

"url"->"https://api.github.com/repos/wjxway/ZhihuLink-Mathematica/releases/assets/6475750"

Emmmmm, I found a nice way sort just catch the browser_download_url.

There should be only one, but, if mult just sort.
