Add to apt (debian based linux package manager)

[mrmuminov]

Hi, can you add to apt-get package manager?

[rgwood]

No, sorry. I don’t have any interest in dealing with distro-specific packaging (but other people can try if they want).

Yeah let's just ignore the most common distro out there and instead require figuring out how to install rust and require compiling, because spending the ten minutes to copy the deb packaging template for github actions is too much work. C'mon do you want adoption of this or not? None of the current installation instructions are complete enough to get anyone from 0 to 100, because rustup doesn't come pre-installed on any debian-like distros.

#35 There you go

I think on some level you know it's more work than that, because instead of doing that in your PR you just told people to install Rust and compile from source.

I probably shouldn't have closed this issue earlier, my bad. I'm open to improvements for the Ubuntu+Debian situation (just don't want to make them myself).

I too was a bit confused when I wanted to install your app in Ubuntu.
I adapted the install/update script from to lazydocker. It downloads the latest version from github for the desired architecture, unzips, installs the application, and then deletes the archive. Should work on all distributions.
@rgwood If I open a PR adding it to the repository and add note to the Readme, will you approve it?

[rgwood]

@antonsizikov Yes, I would probably accept a PR like that. Thanks!
