Create a feature request for a new installation script for a popular tool

"Installer.to" is a project where we collect scripts to install popular tools on popular operating systems. For example, if you run curl https://installer.to/git | bash this will install Git on your machine if you have Apt-get/Yum/DNF/Apk on your machine.

Get familiar with the project first, then go check the issues list, you will find new installer script requests. If you find any of these requests interesting, put a thumbs up on the issue description.

The task is to create a "New Installer Script Request" for a popular tool you know, but there should not be an already created issue for the same tool. You have to check the closed issues also for this! For example, since there is an issue already for kubectl, you can't create an issue for kubectl again.

When you create the issue, explain in the issue why this particular tool is popular, a kind of an introduction to the tool, the official website of the tool, documentation on how to install this tool, etc. Follow the issue template given to you when you click "New Issue" > "New Installer Script Request"

A sample issue looks like https://github.com/leopardslab/installer.to/issues/4
