What would you like to be added:
Add a chocolatey package to make installation simpler for Windows users
Why is this needed:
Currently the release binary doesn't have any extension and requires the user to install KinD into their path either manually or via a Powershell script.
Chocolatey can automate this so users simply need to run choco install Kind to install KinD and upgrades to newer versions are much easier too

I agree that it's about time for this
I'm actually working a few packages right now (I have an AU repo setup to keep them up to date). I can add this project's maintainers as maintainers for the package after it's published (gives management rights to the package). Best of all, it should require no changes to your current release process. Should be as simple as making sure the pre-reqs are dependencies and then running through the install directions.
Pushed the package to Chocolatey. Their Gitter chat indicates they are behind on moderation to an abnormally large queue, so I expect the package to be live in a few days to a week. I'll ready a PR with install instructions for when it goes live.

Package is approved :)
awesome, what will we need to do to release future versions?
It's automatic if it continues to use my repo (setup based on chocolatey recommended AU CI scripts). If you want to integrate it into your, you need a chocolatey account (to get a key to push updates) and I can help with integration as necessary. Otherwise, it'll auto-publish updates as soon as my AU scripts detect a new version/URL to put in the chocolatey scripts.
awesome, thanks. we should probably circle back on how to manage a ""project owned"" account (or at least add the kind repo maintainers) but I'm very happy to have it auto-published for now, thank you very much :-)
thanks!
