Automatic updating and installation

[reversed-coffee]

People using Starlight may not be the sharpest individuals, and even if they are, it's a pain to manually update Starlight when a new version is pushed, especially if you don't watch the repository.

• Implement automatic updating in Starlight.

  • Can be either in the form of a bootstrapper or integrated into the application.

• Write a first-use installation script

  • A PowerShell script that installs Starlight.
  • One command piping data from Invoke-WebRequest to Invoke-Expression

• Why?

  • Ease of use—especially when installing.
  • Better quality of life.
