Feature Request

TCR tool can currently only be installed either by hand, or through a TCR wrapper script.

Providing the possibility to install it like any other tool through a package manager could help increasing usage.

Feature Description

Build and distribute with every new TCR release whatever is required for a package manager to allow installing it.

We could provide support for the most used package manager for each target OS in order to increase TCR reach.

For example:

• homebrew for MacOS
• fury.io for Linux (deb and yum packages)
• chocolatey for Windows

Alternatives

• Stick with what we have, e.g. let users download and extract TCR releases by hand, or use TCR wrapper script
• We could also create a dedicated TCR-wrapper repository providing all the required information for people to leverage on this wrapper to use TCR

Additional Context

Go-releaser (the utility used for releasing TCR) provides solutions for generating archives for package managers. We could leverage on this when implementing this feature
