Feature Proposal: Add an install.sh Script for Easy Setup #4
Description
Description
To simplify the installation and setup process for new users and contributors, I propose adding an install.sh script to the project. This script would automate the initial setup steps, including:
• Checking for required dependencies (e.g., tools, libraries, compilers)
• Installing missing dependencies (if possible)
• Setting up environment variables (if applicable)
• Compiling or initializing the project as needed
Goals
• Streamline the onboarding process
• Minimize manual errors during installation
Tasks
• Identify required dependencies
• Write the install.sh script
• Test across various environments (Linux, WSL, etc.)
• Update the README with usage instructions
Notes
Including a setup script improves the developer experience significantly and can serve as a foundation for future automation (e.g., Docker, CI/CD).
