Installing via winget

[starsep]

It would be great if one could install ludusavi on Windows using winget.

It is blocked by lack of installing software from zip: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/140 Possible solutions are:

• waiting for zip support
• implementing installer

Then one have to add a manifest to this repo: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

I'd be happy to submit a manifest to winget-pkgs once they support zips :+1: I'm not sure if I want to maintain an MSI, but I'll think about that option since some people may prefer it anyway.

winget version 1.3 (currently unreleased) will support portable/standalone apps, so there won't be a need to maintain an MSI. See https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/182

That's great news! I'll watch out for the release so that we can get Ludusavi listed :+1:

Support for installing via Zip files will be supported in winget 1.4 it seems: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.4.2011-preview

Ludusavi is now available via Winget (thanks to the people who submitted https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/96101 and https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/100069) :D I've added instructions to the README, and I'll look into submitting updates to winget-pkgs when there are new releases.
