The **Install** button will register the utility in the context menu. --\u003e\n\n## How It Works\n\nWhen launched with a file argument (via context menu or drag-and-drop), `zip-install` opens the package and scans for executable candidates.\n\nIt then computes a Jaccard similarity index between the archive's file structure and each previously installed app. If a match exceeds the configured threshold (default 0.8), it offers to update the existing installation; otherwise it does a new install.\n\nInstallations are stored under `%LocalAppData%/ZipInstall/Packages/\u003cuuid\u003e/` (Windows) or `~/.local/share/ZipInstall/Packages/\u003cuuid\u003e/` (Linux), with a TOML index tracking installed apps and a separate config file for user preferences.\n\n## Build\n\n```Shell\ngit clone https://github.com/danielpancake/zip-install.git\ncd zip-install\ncargo build --release\n```\n\nThe binary will be at `target/release/` folder.\n\n## License\n\n[Apache License 2.0](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanielpancake%2Fzip-install","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdanielpancake%2Fzip-install","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdanielpancake%2Fzip-install/lists"}
