Installer ? (or at least script for installation) #39

I don't exactly know to what extent you want to perfect this software, but maybe creating an installer and making it available for download would be a good idea. If the popularity of clusterizer goes beyond the MC@H Discord server, people could be discouraged by the "non tech illiterate UX". Most people, especially when contributing to a volunteer computing project, obv wanna have a OOTB installer that works and then leave it running and forget about it mostly.
The risk rn is that most people with download the client (which, I suppose, will download and create files not do crunching on its own), which will end up running and doing its things in the Downloads folder (which is often, especially on non tech-illiterate people's devices, sweeped through by Windows Smart Space daemon (or whatever corporate fuckery) and this could potentially delete files needed by the client, logs, (or even the client itself).
I'm maybe dreaming a bit here, but if not an installer, a small bash script with elevated priviledges would do perfectly fine.
