That's not a solution. Telling people to go look things up themselves in some unspecified place and devise their own solutions is pretty much a giant middle finger to this community (and is still against the HN rule against shallow dismissals). It also does nothing to persuade anyone that you actually know what you're talking about, as opposed to someone who just makes shallow criticisms to scoop up HN points.

It's not hard to imagine that using a big container solution designed for another operating system (and performance hit) is not the most elegant solution here. Especially when the alternative is an environment variable and zip file you already mentioned yourself. There is no step three.
