The OpenWRTInvasion depends on Python which may be a problem for users on Windows.
Also it's many things are happening in the script which are not necessary.
I don't need to get a Telnet/SSH server on the router I just want to flush an OpenWrt on it.
So here is my version of a simple script: it will download OpenWrt images, prepare the payload.tar.gz, then it will ask for an URL of the router admin panel and will just POST the payload.
It's easier to understand and modify for most users. I didn't get how to install the OpenWrt by just reading the README and had to learn and modify it.

The bash and curl can be easier to install on Windows because they are installed with Git. Many users already have it.

Later we can port the script to PowerShell or .bat or bat to simplify life for users.
UPD Just found that someone already tried a Windows only installer:

I'll check it later but still my script looks valuable.

hi, could you check the PR? This should simplify installation from Windows.
