Description
Hi Team,
Currently, using NTTTCP-for-Linux requires building from source, which involves setting up a build environment. This process can be cumbersome and challenging for some users, creating a higher barrier to adoption.
To improve accessibility, could you please provide pre-built binary packages for:
x86_64 architectures: Popular distributions like Ubuntu LTS and RockyLinux.
ARM architectures (e.g., aarch64): For broader compatibility (Raspberry Pi, AWS Graviton, etc.).
This would greatly simplify deployment, especially for users who want to quickly test or use the tool without compiling. Let me know if you’d like help testing binaries on specific platforms.
Thanks for considering this!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or packaging entry points. Start by locating the project's Linux build and release process, then determine how packages can cover Ubuntu LTS and RockyLinux on x86_64 plus aarch64. Done means documented, reproducible binary packages are available for those requested platforms.
