Research direction

Review the nvm installation example linked in the issue and inspect how msedit's latest stable release is published. The work is done when a bash script downloads that release and adds msedit to PATH, with the supported installation behavior documented clearly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md for an example of what I mean.

nvm.sh can be added to new systems running this command
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash

It would be great to have something similar to this that download and add msedit to PATH from the latest stable release.

This can have a good impact if you want to expand adoption of msedit.
