Description
Requirements:
- the installer must be multiplatform (Linux, Windows, Mac)
- it must create shortcuts and add stuff to registry (if necessary)
- it must register
.robotand.resourcefiles to open in RIDE - it must be able to download all dependencies (if option is checked)
This is a pretty big task, which we will not be able to complete any time soon.
Any help to implement these will be appreciated.
