Description
I'm sure this has probably been asked but I couldn't find it when I looked through the different bugs to find out if this would be a duplicate or not; It would be great to be able to install this via choco ( https://chocolatey.org/ ) from a package instead of via source.
The current package available for the gnu version of the core utilities version of your project is many years out of date on Choco, and missing a lot of features that are present in this package. It would benefit both communities if you supported this.
Posting this because I wanted to install this, but don't want to deal with source only installs on dev workstations or build pipeline images, so was hoping for a better solution, Especially if the installation was seamless and allowed the tools to be directly added to the path.
