Hi Trouble, That's not really the issue here. Of course each platform will have its own download links etc on the web site. However, I wanted to simplify the install process for myself as creating separate installers for every platform is a somewhat time consuming prospect.
For instance, take Linux just as an example here. There is no single package manager or global installation method across Linux platforms. Red Hat based distributions use rpm, Debian based distributions use dpkg, Arch uses pacman, and so on. While packages can be converted using alien and so forth its really better to create an installer using the Linux distribution's native package manager from the beginning. Rather than do all that I think simply unzipping the contents in the end users home directory is the easiest solution to the problem. That doesn't even begin to touch upon the issue of different directory paths between platforms. That is to say files go in different places depending on platform, and while I can do it I am not convinced it is worth the extra time and effort to do it. :D Cheers!
