I am on Linux (Ubuntu/Debian or Manjaro/Arch Linux), can you add support for apt and pacman as "simple way to install" ?

# Debian family distros
apt install fvm

# Arch family distros
pacman -S fvm

# or, on AUR repositories (personally I use yay)
yay -S fvm

I think it will bring way more people in order to contribute for this tool, or simply use it

For Debian based distros getting something into the main debian repository I think is quite an under taking, but as an alternative there could just be a package repository setup to distribute the deb file, which is what even the Dart SDK does and pretty much the same as having to add the custom tap for homebrew users.

I'm a Ubuntu and Debian user so I can put up my hand to create a deb package repository, I'm guessing FVM can be compiled into a AOT standalone binary so it should be a fairly simple deb package.

Actually since fvm uses cli_pkg its in the same boat as dart_sass so really I think the best idea would be to contribute support for debian packages to cli_pkg and I guess @leoafarias that would tie in nicely with your existing CI/CD process for fvm?

@maks that is correct, I believe this would be the best route
