Disturbute binary file(cli app)

Getting started

For homebrew and apt you need to create a github release(or push you binary file as a tar file in any other fileserver)

create a github repositry named homebrew-appName
build your app and make a binary named [appName]
tar it using tar -czf osTarget-appName-version.tar.gz appName
create a ssh for this file using shasum -a 256 osTarget-appName-version.tar.gz
create a github release with yor tar file as an asset
put a rb file like this in your repository using link of your tar file and created ssh

now you can install your app with brew install [github-userName]/[appName]/[name-of-rb-file]

If you want to install with brew install appName you need to use homebrew-core (if your app is open-source) or cask. For more information visit here

build your app and make a binary named [appName]
make a directory named linux
make a directory named DEBIAN and put control file in it
make a directory named usr/local/bin and put your binary in it
run this command in root of your project dpkg-deb -b <path/to/source/linux> <destination/dir>
now you can install created deb file in destination dir with apt install <deb-file.deb>

First you need goreleaser and npm installed on your system

run goreleaser init in root of your project
change .goreleaser.yml based on your project, forexample add project_name to yaml file(it's default value is folder name)
run goreleaser release
If your app is open-source continue in this directory and if it is not make a new directory and move dist folder to it
run npm init
download postinstall.js and add it to your dir
change example in postinstall.js line 144 with the name of your package in step 2
Add scripts, goBinary, files, dependencies to your package.json like this
run npm publish
now you can install your binary with npm i package-name
