Research direction

This issue requests submitting the bget binary to Windows and Linux package managers (e.g., Chocolatey, Scoop, apt, snap). The contributor should first research the packaging requirements for each target package manager, then create the necessary manifest files or scripts. The repository's current release structure and Go build process should be examined. No prior work has been linked; the maintainer may need to clarify which package managers are prioritized.
