Description
Hi, the release page shows install instructions using a RUN command which requires curl, shasum etc… Another option would be to use something like this:
```
ADD --checksum=sha256:5adff01c5a797663948e656d2b61d10932369ee437eb5cb54fa872b2960f222b --chmod=755 \
https://github.com/aptible/supercronic/releases/download/v0.2.46/supercronic-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/supercronic
```
This way it should work in every container without installing software. I would have opened a PR, but couldn't find out from a quick "grep" via the online repo search how those release messages are generated. Feel free to just close the issue if you do not like the `ADD` approach.
Thank you for your work on supercronic either way 👍

Research direction
Start by tracing how the release-page install instructions are generated, since the issue says an online repository search did not reveal the source. Compare the current RUN-based instructions with the proposed Docker ADD command and its checksum. Done means the release page uses an agreed installation approach that works without installing extra tools.
