This is not an immediate to do but I post it here to open a discussion.\r\n\r\nProviding a package for MAC users would probably find the biggest resonance. I'm not sure how to handle the dependency on the ROOT version there as we certainly don't want to distribute it with the heavy  ROOT libraries. But ROOT provides binaries for the mac, so we should be able to figure this out.\r\n\r\nUbuntu would be the 2nd most desired platform. Since there is a new-enough ROOT in the Ubuntu repositories this should be doable, too.\r\n\r\nThis issue was inspired by the request of a Linux arch user @rknegjens who is knowledgeable enough to provide his own package, I think he would be happy to help with that."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bat/bat/issues/comments/96639766","html_url":"https://github.com/bat/bat/issues/26#issuecomment-96639766","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bat/bat/issues/26","id":96639766,"user":{"login":"oschulz","id":546147,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/546147?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz","html_url":"https://github.com/oschulz","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/oschulz/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-27T12:55:56Z","updated_at":"2015-04-27T12:55:56Z","body":"In general, we can provide VM images (OVF/OVA, Vagrant/Virtualbox and Docker). I'll get on that soon, I have most of the pieces I need in place.\r\n\r\nConcerning OS-X binaries, that shouldn't be too problematic, we could bundle everything we need (including ROOT) together. However, I don't know how well this will work across different OS-X versions ...\r\n\r\nConcerning Ubuntu (or Linux in general), we could provide an automatic installer. I don't think we can afford to maintain binaries for multiple Ubuntu (or other distro) versions and possible different architectures. However, I think we could provide an Ubuntu PPA."}}
