Functional Requirements

• Linux: Create RPM and DEB packages to install the Wazuh agent on RHEL-based and Debian-based distributions.
• Windows: Create an MSI installer for the Wazuh agent.
• macOS: Create a PKG installer for macOS 14+.

   • Develop an RPM spec file for RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and similar distributions.
2. https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-agent/issues/143
   • Create a DEB package for Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.).
3. https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-agent/issues/134
   • Develop an MSI installer for Windows.
   • Ensure the installer correctly registers the agent as a Windows Service.
   • Handle dependencies and any required installation scripts (pre/post-install).
4. https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-agent/issues/135
   • Develop a PKG installer for macOS.
   • Ensure the installer sets up the agent as a launch daemon.
   • Handle installation-related tasks like setting up permissions and configuring files.
5. Documentation:
   • Create installation instructions for each type of package (RPM, DEB, MSI, PKG).
