Implement an installer script for a popular tool

"Installer.to" is a project where we collect scripts to install popular tools on popular operating systems. For example, if you run curl https://installer.to/git | bash this will install Git on your machine if you have Apt-get/Yum/DNF/Apk on your machine.

Get familiar with the project first, then go check the issues list, you will find new installer script requests. If you find any of these requests interesting, put a thumbs up on the issue description.

The task is to implement an installer script for a popular tool you know, but there should be an already created issue for the tool. You have to check the closed issues also for this! If there isn't an issue for this tool, then first create one. (Also, there's a GCI task for that here )

Look at the other installer scripts ( you can find them here ) and look at the official installation guides given in the tool's official pages. You should add links to the PR to convince the PR reviewers that your installations steps are correct. Your installation script should support multiple Operating systems( if you checked other installations scripts in Installer.to project, you must have realized this already).
