Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I would like to be able to install asdf on Windows.

Describe the proposed solution

Provide installation instructions for asdf and support installation of asdf on Windows. An installation path could be accomplished either through winget or Chocolatey.

Describe similar asdf features and why they are not sufficient

asdf can be installed in Docker containers and in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Linux distributions but not directly on Windows. While those can be useful options, having asdf run directly on Windows would be great and much more convenient at times. For example, if I want to develop in Erlang and Elixir, asdf is very handy if not required when dealing with multiple projects. Things can get slowed down if having to deal with Docker or WSL.

Describe other workarounds you've considered

None that I know of.

I am not sure if we have explicitly documented this, but given asdf is written in Shell scripts our intention for Windows was WSL, with the recommendations now being WSL2 as it has significantly improved.

I am not sure if it is even possible for Windows to run our Shell scripts in any native capacity.

Edit: closing as duplicate of #450

When ppl talk about windows support I assume they mean "native" support becuz WSL2 does not mean windows exactly it just mean linux with extra tweaks, so how this is closed !?

Please read the thread in #450 We have discussed the parameters under which we want to support asdf on Windows endlessly
