Descrizione
Summary
RTK is not available on winget (Windows Package Manager). Windows users currently have to either use cargo install or manually download the .zip from GitHub releases.
Current installation options on Windows
cargo install --git https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk— requires Rust toolchain- Manual download from GitHub releases (
rtk-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip)
Expected
winget install rtk-ai.rtk
Steps to add winget support
- Create a winget manifest under
microsoft/winget-pkgs(see contribution guide) - Automate manifest updates in the release CI workflow (
.github/workflows/release.yml)
A GitHub Actions step similar to the existing Homebrew formula update could handle this automatically on each release.
Context
Reported by Benjamin on Discord (Clean Coder community) — Windows users expect package manager support and the current options add unnecessary friction.
