General Installation Steps for appcfg

1. Download & Extract:

   • Get the latest appcfg release for your OS from GitHub Releases.
   • Extract the downloaded archive.

2. Install Executable:

   • Move the appcfg executable (e.g., appcfg or appcfg.exe) to a directory in your system's PATH (like /usr/local/bin or a custom scripts folder) or a location you plan to alias.
   • On Linux/macOS: Ensure it has execute permissions (e.g., chmod +x appcfg).
