Research direction
Investigate how to create a Homebrew tap for ptop. Look at examples of existing brew formulas for Python tools. The issue also asks about an apt get entry, so consider creating a Debian package as well, but that may be out of scope. Focus on the macOS brew tap first, creating a formula file that downloads the Python package and installs it. Check the repository for any existing packaging scripts.
