FR: PowerShell Installation Script for Windows Platform #9
Description
Starting a tracking issue to facilitate installation on Windows without needing a *nix environment like WSL, Cygwin, etc.
I'm happy to write a PowerShell script that tracks what the current deploy bash script will do. Should not be a heavy lift.
But before I start, I wanted to see if we are happy with the current workflow to avoid having to duplicate work on the two different scripts.
One question is whether it would be better to package ereader up as a release with just the necessary files to install the plugin. As I understand the current setup, the user needs to clone the entire repository which includes a complete copy of koreader code. But only a handful of files need to be copied to the reader device for the plugin to work, right? So perhaps we should have a "release" target folder and have the deploy script just work from there, so it can cleanly be downloaded/installed without touching git.
