First of all... Why did I not find this earlier??? Such a great tool! Rust and cross platform, best combo!

I know this project is in its early steps and also only you, @volllly , develop it, so I guess you dont have the time to package it to all platforms. As a temporary solution can you add a step to github actions to build binaries for several platforms? Also add some example one-liner to curl / wget / Invoke-WebRequest them to ~/.bin or something. It would be much easier to not install rust on every computer.

Hey, glad you like it 😁

You have a very good point it should be easier to install Rotz.
There is already a draft PR to add binaries to the releases (#98). I just have not yet gotten around to finish it.

The next steps would then be to provide oneliners to install Rotz or small install scripts (like rustup curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh or scoop irm get.scoop.sh | iex have).

Later I would like to add Rotz to scoop and winget for windows as well as homebrew on macos and im thinking nix, snap or flatpak for linux. I've created an issue for that (#136)

@ADIX7 The latest release now includes binaries 😁🎉
