Description
kup install kontrol downloads more that 4GB of data (!) and compiles something (already almost an hour and I can' see the end). It's crazy and drives off potential users.
I'm also getting warning: error: unable to download 'https://k-framework.cachix.org/nar/8e9844e480b607d9d98da17b0f1db0c592b7267f2c413f60176ba400cc13105f.nar.zst': HTTP error 500
Why not provide precompiled binaries to 3 most common architectures developers use (Mac, Windows x64, Linux x64)?

Research direction
Start by reproducing kup install kontrol and measuring the download and compilation steps. Then trace the installation entry point and determine how binaries for Mac, Windows x64, and Linux x64 would be delivered. Done means a substantially smaller, faster installation path with working precompiled binaries for the requested architectures.
