This is a meta-issue to research other install/distribution channels we might want to add to make Lando as widely available as possible. Here are some idea off the top of my head:

  • Homebrew, already a ticket for this to review: [Finally create some homebrew formula #32]
  • Chocolatey
  • Linux packages eg deb, rpm, SNAP, and maybe PPAs or equivalent?
  • Installer packages (like we used to have but ideally something more maintainable/testable/easier)
  • Linux/Win/macOS stores?

What other methods might we consider? And does anyone want to research any of them/recommend

I'd like to voice strong support for deb and RPM, including ARM (or platform independent!) versions of each.

While the RPi is often cited as an ARM nice-to-have, my use case is running Debian ARM VMs on a Mac with VMWare Fusion. Being able to install a Debian package in that VM would be ideal for me.

How are the current release packages created? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I can't find any lando.spec files defining the RPM or debian package directories.

I have experience with building both RPMs and Debian packages. I'm willing to help support those builds.

Chocolatey has the ability to use PowerShell scripts for the installation of packages already.

Using @AaronFeledy's script with chocolatey should work without issues and tick the Chocolatey box.
