描述

Feature Description

We've had reports of k6 failing to install on some systems (#854, #2608, #3055), so it would be good to have a CI job that runs after every release (whenever we publish packages to dl.k6.io) to ensure k6 installs smoothly on most modern systems. We could also schedule it periodically, to ensure our infrastructure around it is working properly.

This should be relatively simple to automate for a few Linux distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, etc.), and we can potentially consider doing it for macOS and Windows. For macOS we'd have to wait for the Homebrew package to be updated, so that could possibly be implemented as a trigger. And for Windows, the MSI installation can be scripted, so it should be possible to do this in CI.

We should test several versions of each OS, to ensure it doesn't just work for the latest releases.

研究方向
Start by reviewing the linked issues (#854, #2608, #3055) to understand past installation failures. Examine the repository's CI configuration in .github/workflows/ to see existing workflows and identify where to add a new job. Research how k6 packages are distributed (e.g., via dl.k6.io) and create scripts to test installation on various Linux distributions, potentially using Docker containers. For macOS and Windows, explore options like Homebrew and MSI scripting, but prioritize Linux for initial implementation.
