Not installable with boss

[TeoWin]

f:\Delphi 11\boss-windows-amd64\windows-amd64>boss install horse [ERROR] boss.json not exists in f:\Delphi 11\boss-windows-amd64\windows-amd64

The message says there is no boss.json file... Did you initialize the boss? Before installing Horse?

boss init
boss install horse

No I did not.

The installation instructions did not tell me to do so and since I'm not here for Boss I'm not focussed nor interested in learning how that works.

If I need to brush my theeth before installing Boss or need to reboot my computer after, you have to tell me to do so. I don't want to learn Boss at that moment.

And my honest opinion: I am Delphi developer visiting a Github repository page. On that repository I can use GIT whatever other source control to get the latest sources. I think that Boss (with all respect for the project) is another layer that I don't want not need.

Distribute your project with GetIt the Embarcadero way, that works similar and can handle Github.

From the Horse front page:

_``` Installation is done using the boss install command:

boss install horse

(Optional) Install [wizard](https://github.com/HashLoad/horse-wizard)

Forgive me my stupidity but there is no mention of boss.init.
I did exactely as instructed.

I would not have installed Boss in the first place: this is a Delphi repository.  My first go is download sources and packages.

I understood. You must learn to use Boss to install packages, or install packages manually. To perform the installation manually, always download the sources from the latest released release. Add in the library path or search path of the project, the src folder and be happy. Note: the purpose of the boss is not similar to Delphi's GetIt. That's why he's not there.
