AvalancheGo now has an apt repository. See Binary Repository.

Note: this type of installation might not be compatible with our filesystem layout (that tries to respect the Linux FHS)

When installing AvalancheGo using apt install avalanchego, the binary is placed under /usr/local/bin whereas we currently install it under /opt/avalanche/avalanchego/current. According to this discussion on the differences between /opt and /usr/local I would say that our installation is closer to the Linux FHS.

IMO we should keep our way of installing AvalancheGo. We can still find a way of verifying the binary integrity after downloading.

@leopaul36 what do you think?

Agreed, let's keep the binaries in /opt. Plus I know they only support Ubuntu and macOS but if things change we're already compatible.
