Should we just copy what we have in https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/get ? We can put it somewhere on scala-lang |

Can we support an installer script for "scala" that does not rely on any other tool (e.g. like the VirtusLab bash script installer at https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/get)
The command basically detects OS/CPU and installs the corresponding zip from scala3 releases as "scala" - useful for guides on other websites/resources where scala is required but without wanting to decide on a specific package manager (or personal preference where package managers in general are not desired).
previous discussion: scala/docs.scala-lang#3169 which wanted to put a single installer on the "Getting Started" page way to install at https://docs.scala-lang.org/getting-started/install-scala.html
choice:
./scala, also requires comitting two scripts for windows compatAim is to avoid the confusion of so many tools and it seems there is sentiment still that coursier is "yet another" tool.
