windows install instructions (?????)

[User670]

I hope that's an acceptable way of "installing" cheat, because it feels hacky

Duplicate of #743. Closing.

Reopening. #743 has a powershell script but I'm on command prompt most of the time. It doesn't hurt to mention the dumb way I suppose.

To any maintainers, if you want to accept both this and #743, you might need to manually merge stuff

I'm a Windows 10 Pro user and am very confused about where the 'cheat.exe' executable comes from. Upon reading the doc I installed GO, which did create a 'cheat.exe' in a go\bin directory. However, as soon as I executed 'cheat.exe' from that library, it disappeared! I think Windows saw it as a virus!? So if someone can point me in the right direction on the proper way to install CHEAT on Windows, I'd like to take it for a spin.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.

@danbromberg Oops, didn't see.

What I added was under "install manually" section. The exe is in cheat-windows-amd64.exe.zip in the releases.

Go is something else.

Where is the INSTALL MANUALLY section? A URL would help. Thnx, Dan

current version, my proposed change

Also alsd4git proposed a change to the install instruction that uses Chocolatey package manager.

Thanks for the link, User670, you've been very helpful.
BTW, is there a way I could've found this link myself from the main github's CHEAT page?
(I often find navigating around GitHub very unintuitive).
