Support for a package manager for SonarScanner CLI

SonarQube Server / Community Build

Hi,

This is a suggestion related to the installation of SonarScanner CLI

Right now in order to install the SonarScanner CLI on a machine, the process is to unzip the installer to a specific location. And probably adding the bin to the PATH.

This is not very convienent to do an install or upgrade (Specially on developer machines)

Is there a plan to provide a package manager for the Sonar Scanner CLI ?

Some candidate I like personally

I personally like homebrew because it also allow to add 3rd party repository (Taps (Third-Party Repositories) — Homebrew Documentation). For example companies like Hashicorp is doing this for their binary (Install | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer)

Hope this will be considered and whould be a great improvement fot the Scanner CLI installation

Thanks

Hey @jonesbusy

It’s not “official”, but there is a homebrew formula for sonar-scanner: sonar-scanner — Homebrew Formulae
