What
Add a one-line installation script for Linux to automate the setup process, including the
AppImageLauncherdependency.Why
The current Linux installation process adds significant onboarding friction by forcing users to manually install a dependency before they can even run the app. Your philosophy is clear: 'if I can't get value in 5 minutes, there's a problem.' This script removes that manual step, getting users up and running with a single command, which is a much better first-run experience.
How
I'll create a new shell script (
scripts/install.sh) that detects the user's Linux distribution, installsAppImageLauncherusing the native package manager (e.g., apt, dnf), and then downloads and integrates the AppImage. The README will then be updated to replace the manual instructions with a simplecurl | bashcommand.Files Changed
