Sorry, up till now the package should be an installer, source code or zip files are not supported. Maybe you need to wait for quite a long time.

@XavierGeerinck @lychichem is there any docs for me to generate exe or msi file for this (simple way) for my reference.

@kirankotari Even if you can generate an installer for pyenv, it may still be blocked due to dependency on other packages (python). And I don't know where to find a doc for building msi...

[XavierGeerinck]

Would be really nice to still be able to build this as this is useful for a lot of people (I linked the other issue here as well).

[XavierGeerinck]

Note: https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win#get-pyenv-win shows how to install it. It is already supported on Chocolatey

No, This package is written in visual basic and batch which are window inbuilt languages. No external package dependency.

@lychichem you are referring to a wrong link which is not for windows system. For pyenv-win which is pyenv for windows doesn't have dependency as such.

pyenv/pyenv#62

[XavierGeerinck]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments also lists pyenv as an important tool

@kirankotari any possibility of being able to create an MSI installer for it?

As far as I can see, GitHub CLI has a workflow for it!

• GitHub Workflow: https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/.github/workflows/releases.yml#L133
  • It utilizes go-msi (https://github.com/mh-cbon/go-msi)
  • Which in turn implements WIX
