Research direction

Start with deploy/install.sh and the Radius CLI installation flow, including the rad bicep download step. Determine the packaging and distribution requirements for Homebrew, WinGet, apt, and rpm, then confirm the scope and acceptance criteria; done means the prioritized package managers can install the CLI and its required components.
