Research direction
Review the issue comments for discussions on packaging and hosting. Examine existing documentation files (e.g., README) and any existing packaging scripts (e.g., in a 'packaging' directory). Investigate whether there is a CI/CD pipeline that could be extended to build .deb packages. Focus on adding a simple installation command if the package is available via apt, or outline steps to create a .deb package if not. Consider linking to official Debian/Ubuntu packaging guides.
