🐧 WSL Support for Windows Users

This release fixes installation issues for Windows users running WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

πŸ”§ What's Fixed

  • WSL Installation: No more unzip: command not found errors
  • Python Fallback: Automatically uses Python's zipfile module when unzip is missing
  • No Sudo Required: Safe installation without automatic package installation
  • Graceful Degradation: Clear error messages with helpful installation instructions

πŸš€ How It Works

The installer now tries multiple extraction methods:

  1. unzip (preferred, fastest)
  2. python3 zipfile (WSL fallback, works on most systems)
  3. python zipfile (older Python versions)
  4. Helpful error with manual installation steps

🎯 Perfect for Windows WSL Users

WSL environments typically include Python 3 but often lack unzip. This release makes the installation seamless for Windows developers using WSL.
