HFS 3: task: easy distribution

[rejetto]

Please, first refer to the tasks topic.


Currently HFS 3 is at an early stage, but it's important to understand if and how we can distribute it in a form that's easy for the user.

At the moment HFS can be installed this way.
We want something easier, and coherent with the user's platform (win/linux/mac).

Possible solutions:

NPKG
