Example

use vx_installer::{Installer, InstallConfig, InstallMethod, ArchiveFormat};
use std::path::PathBuf;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let installer = Installer::new().await?;
     
    let config = InstallConfig::builder()
        .tool_name("node")
        .version("18.17.0")
        .download_url("https://nodejs.org/dist/v18.17.0/node-v18.17.0-linux-x64.tar.gz")
        .install_method(InstallMethod::Archive {
            format: ArchiveFormat::TarGz
        })
        .install_dir(PathBuf::from("/opt/vx/tools/node/18.17.0"))
        .build();
     
    let executable_path = installer.install(&config).await?;
    println!("Installed to: {}", executable_path.display());
