Add an installer for Sioyek

Open dmpov opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Hi, let me start by thanking you for this wonderful piece of software! Immediately after I had started using it to read papers, I got hooked and can't go back now.

Currently, it is a bit tricky to install & upgrade it - one needs to set up the directory structure themselves and periodically overwrite its contents with the ones of the ZIP containing the new version.

An installer would help with that, while also lowering the barrier for adoption and opening possibilities such as installing & upgrading Sioyek via package managers, e.g. winget for Windows. The QT Installer Framework seems to be a good candidate for that. I'd love to see it implemented!

I was caught out expecting sioyek in the usual windows package manager locations:

C:\Windows\System32>choco install sioyek
Chocolatey v2.2.2
Installing the following packages:
sioyek
By installing, you accept licenses for the packages.
sioyek not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed.

C:\Windows\System32>winget search sioyek
No package found matching input criteria.

Support would be ace.

I think you should open this issue for choco developers.
