ci_edit Install ci_edit with apt-get

I've gotten a feature request to install ci_edit via apt-get to make the install process super simple for apt-get users.

I'm down to give this a shot. I've never deployed something on apt before :). What about for the Mac users? I've seen some people use pip so the same installation works across on Mac and Linux.

Also, the PPA uses the publisher's Ubuntu One account. If I created it, it would be something like http://ppa.launchpad.net/aaxu/ci_edit Not sure if it matters, but if you want to change the username part, you would need to use a different account to create the PPA. Is there one in particular you want to use/do you want to create the PPA, or should I just create it under my account?

@aaxu besides apt, pip is definitely a place we can deploy. For mac and RHEL (centos), consider brew and yum. @dschuyler what do you think

I think I need to find out more about deployment :). I've used apt and yum (and brew once). I haven't read much about how the system as a whole works. I'd like to learn about the topic overall. Please recommend sites to read or check out.

On Mac is there merit to doing a disk image install, or is that passé?

Is there something general for Windows at this point? Do users still download exe installers?
