DevTools week idea
Which functionality do you think we should add?
Make it easier for developers to download and install odo
binaries.
For example, via something like this:
curl -sL https://get.odo.dev | sh # with options to control what to install, like odo version(nightly, latest, or specific version), destination path, ...]
I was thinking of a convenience script that could be downloaded and piped via a single command, but there could be other options of course: integration with package managers...
I am not familiar with Windows, but I guess it should be possible to do something similar. Or the WinGet or Chocolatey packages (#4042) could be helpful as well.
I looked at some already closed issues and found a similar idea discussed (and implemented?)
- Create installation bash script #74
- Add installation script to ocdev #117
- improve installation script install.sh #124
Why is this needed?
The installation documentation requires running a few manual commands after clicking on the right tab to select the right system architecture and operating system. While this is great for auditing purposes, I think this is a typical example of something that a script could easily determine and perform.
Sure, there are pros and cons when using a one-liner convenience script, such as security implications. So it should still remain possible to run all commands manually if needed, as done currently.
