Hello Qian, I just checked, since some of your work it is now possible to use the Windows nightly build, I better understand. Having a self installer was more destined for official releases because Windows users, usually, expect an installer and a way via "add/remove programs" to cleanly delete it. It is already not easy to use FriCAS for a new user, a friendly and clean way to install/remove it is a +.
For a CI, why not, but frankly, now the "nightly build" is usable, I was unable to use them in the past. And to add to the FriCAS installer idea with eventually the official FriCAS logo, a .desktop file could also be added I think for Unix-like systems, this is common, even for console based mathematical software. - Greg Le mar. 14 mai 2024 à 15:58, Qian Yun <oldk1...@gmail.com> a écrit : > > Hi, > > Can you tell me more about the advantages of installer over zip file? > (Other than start menu entry and desktop icon.) > > Also, it would be good to integrate it with Github CI. > > - Qian > > On 5/13/24 07:43, Grégory Vanuxem wrote: > > Hello folks, > > > > Below is a link to a Windows setup program to install FriCAS, usually > > in "USER_HOME"/AppData/local/programs/. > > > > A FriCAS start menu entry is added, and optionally it can also create > > a desktop icon.
