Description

Motivation

Currently Fibratus installation requires manual download or custom deployment steps. This creates friction for users who want to quickly evaluate or deploy Fibratus on Windows systems.

Chocolatey is one of the most widely used Windows package managers, especially in enterprise environments and automated provisioning pipelines. Publishing Fibratus packages to Chocolatey would simplify installation and enable easier integration into existing Windows deployment workflows.

Expectation

Users should be able to install Fibratus using Chocolatey with a single command:

choco install fibratus

This should install:

• Fibratus binary
• Default configuration files
• Optional service installation capability
• Documentation reference

Proposal

Create and maintain an official Chocolatey package for Fibratus including:

• Stable release package
• Automatic version updates
• SHA256 verification
• Release binaries pulled from GitHub Releases

This should include:

• x64 builds
• Proper versioning
• Upgrade support (choco upgrade fibratus)
• Clean uninstall support

Additional context

Chocolatey is widely used in:

• Enterprise Windows environments
• DevOps pipelines
• Automated workstation provisioning
• Security and research labs

Providing Chocolatey support would significantly improve adoption and allow Fibratus to integrate naturally into enterprise Windows deployment workflows.
