could jbang-vscode offer to install jbang if it is not available?

[maxandersen]

its all nice downloading jbang + jbang edit gives you full dev environment but
it would be nice if jbang-vscode could offer to install jbang to make it easy to start from downloading vscode instead of installing script via terminal.

wdyt?

Yeah I thought about it, also to embed jbang by default.
Where should we install it by default? ~/.jbang?

[maxandersen]

yeah - I was thinking to just do what curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app setup does.

for windows its a bit more tricky as it might require elevated privileges due to reliance on symbolic linking ;/

I would be -1 on embedding jbang by default; unless its just used as absolute last fallback or we can release vscode-jbang immediately when jbang updates.

So do you want that we run curl / iex from vscode to trigger the install in a terminal, or do you have something else in mind?

... like detect if sdkman, homebrew, choco is installed and delegate the JBang installation to those
