Install with PacletInstall

[oameye]

Would be handy, if the package could provide a handy install command with PacletInstall. Most Mathematica packages are moving to this system. For example for NCAlgebra newest release or MaTeX:

PacletInstall["https://github.com/NCAlgebra/NC/blob/v6.0.0/NCAlgebra-6.0.0.paclet?raw=true"];

ResourceFunction["MaTeXInstall"][]

I am willing to find out what is needed for this.

Yes, that would be useful. Alternatively (or in parallel), it would be nice if it could be installed from GUI through File/Install menu action. I'll look into this when I find some time, but if you can point me to where these things are documented, that would be great.

(In practice, what I actually prefer to do on my computers is to make a symlink from Mathematica Applications dir to a cloned github repo..)

The functionality to install the Sneg package through a GUI File/Install menu already is available. Could be nice if this is documented on the website and here on GitHub.

I also looked up some tutorials on how to make a Paclet available:

• Mathematica documentation
• Adding a Paclet to the Mathematica Paclet Server
• Creating a Mathematica Package Repository
• Making a Paclet with BTools
• Building a Mathematica Package Ecosystem

Some todo's to close this issue would be:

• Add the functionality to install the package through Mathematica GUI to the documentation
• Make a Paclet and host it on GitHub such that the package easily can be installed with the PacletInstall[[] function.

Thank you. I'll look into Paclets when I find some time.

No worries. I would do it too, but it seems that there are different decisions one could take. So I think it is best that the package Owner makes those.

Ps: I really like the package and open to contribute ones I have looked at the code a bit.
