Support for more package manager (apt, macport)

[MarvinJanssen]

I wanted to create a single issue to track package manager support.

• [x] Homebrew (macOS) - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/80745
  • Requires >=30 forks, >=30 watchers and >=75 stars.
• [x] Winget (Windows)
• [ ] Apt (Linux)
• [ ] MacPorts (macOS)
  • Should be an easy win.

Feel free to amend this issue.

Looking at package managers on windows

• https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop: 13.6k ⭐️
• https://github.com/chocolatey/choco: 7.6k ⭐️

Should we use stars as a proxy for priority?

As pointed by @zone117x in another channel, going on the winget path might actually be more mainstream, since this package manager will be available by default on every single windows 10 machine: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-package-manager-1-0/

So in terms of priority, I'd say:

• [x] Homebrew (macOS): must have
• [x] Winget (Windows): must have
• [ ] Apt (Linux): nice to have

[MarvinJanssen]

Agreed.

Winget support is completed! https://github.com/hirosystems/clarinet/blob/develop/README.md#install-from-winget-windows

Recent developer feedback indicates that windows devs want support for other package managers. Choco (https://github.com/chocolatey/choco) came up as a suggestion

Closing this one due to age. I'm happy to revisit if interest resurfaces.
