Port Jawk's installers to the documentation site:
- src/site/resources/get (POSIX sh): downloads the standalone jar of the
latest release (or IPMICLI_VERSION), verifies its SHA-256 checksum in a
temporary directory before touching an existing installation, installs
it under ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/ipmicli and an ipmicli
launcher in ~/.local/bin (IPMICLI_INSTALL_DIR), and prints the PATH line
when needed.
- src/site/resources/get.ps1 (PowerShell): the same under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ipmicli, with an ipmicli.cmd shim added to the user PATH.
- The launchers find Java 8 or later at run time (IPMICLI_JAVA_HOME,
JAVA_HOME, PATH, java_home on macOS, sdkman, /usr/lib/jvm), exit 127
with a pointer to adoptium.net without one, and export
IPMICLI_PROGRAM_NAME so the usage names ipmicli.
Unlike Jawk, the checksum is mandatory and there is no fallback for
releases without the version-less alias: no release before 2.0.00 has the
command-line client.
release.yml gets a job after the shared release workflow that uploads the
ipmi-java-standalone.jar alias and the .sha256 checksums of both jars.
installers.yml runs both installers against the latest release on pull
requests that touch them and weekly; it skips with a notice while the
latest release has no standalone jar (1.2.02).
Tested against a local copy of the release layout: WSL Ubuntu (dash) and
Windows PowerShell 5.1 (install, --version, --help, pinned reinstall,
tampered jar leaves the installation untouched, missing release, no Java).

What changed
src/site/resources/get(Linux/macOS) andget.ps1(Windows), ported from Jawk with theIPMICLI_*names. They download the standalone jar of the latest release (orIPMICLI_VERSION) and verify its SHA-256 in a temporary location, so a mismatch leaves an existing installation untouched. Then they install anipmiclilauncher:${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/ipmicli, the launcher in~/.local/bin(IPMICLI_INSTALL_DIR); the installer prints the PATH line when that directory is not on the PATH.%LOCALAPPDATA%\ipmicli, with anipmicli.cmdshim whose directory is added to the user PATH.IPMICLI_JAVA_HOME,JAVA_HOME,javaon the PATH, then on Linux/macOS/usr/libexec/java_home, sdkman and/usr/lib/jvm. Without one they exit with code 127 and point to adoptium.net. They exportIPMICLI_PROGRAM_NAME, so the usage namesipmicliand notjava -jar ....release.yml: astandalone-assetsjob runs after the shared release workflow, which uploads the versioned jars only.

They run on pull requests that touch the installers and weekly, and check: install,--version= the release version,--helpnamingipmicli, a pinned reinstall in place, and exit 127 + adoptium without Java. On Windows they also checkIPMICLI_JAVA_HOMEand the refusal of a fake Java 7.installation.mdandcli.mdnow lead with the one-liners (tabs, then how to inspect the script first, then the manual download).
