Simplify install process

What problem are you trying to solve?

Current approach to install this tool with execute a random code in console curl -fsSL https://get.jetify.com/devbox | bash is potentially insecure and unacceptable for our company policy.

I see an option with nixos manager, but it means we have to install 2 tools to just create isolated environment. This is too complicated and not user friendly.

What solution would you like?

Simplify install process and make it secure. You may add this tool to a popular packages managers like pip/npm/etc or even in OS packages managers like brew/apt/etc.

This solution is more secure by numerous reasons some of them is

  • standard way to manage packages
  • control over content and retrospective malware detection abilities
