Description

cli

Objective

Linux users on .deb based systems have preferences for various package managers, but the default is apt. This issue is to host the latest release and be able to install and manage Path via apt

Goals

  • A user on a .deb -based Linux distribution should be able to install Path with a simple command: apt install path

Deliverables

  • A server which hosts the apt image
  • Integration of our CI/CD process with the main branch that pushes the latest x86_64 Linux binary to the server
  • [OPTIONAL]: Integration of our CI/CD process with the main branch that pushes the latest ARM-Linux binary to the server
  • Automatic signing via GPG of the latest image

Non-goals / Non-deliverables

  • This does not include packages or hosting for yum , snap or other Linux-based package managers

General deliverables

  • Comments: Add/update TODOs and comments alongside the source code so it is easier to follow.
  • Testing: Add new tests (unit and/or E2E) to the test suite.
  • Makefile: Add new targets to the Makefile to make the new functionality easier to use.
  • Documentation: Update architectural or development READMEs; use mermaid diagrams where appropriate.
