Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users don't know how to add things to PATH.

Describe the solution you'd like
Publish Pinniped as a Kubectl plugin installable with Krew so they can just do kubectl krew install pinniped.

Describe alternatives you've considered
They can download the binary and put it into the path, or depending on the os, use, aur, brew or other.
A "curl|bash" flow could also do the thing but I don't really like that.
