HEAinstaller v2 – Major Update

HEAinstaller Version 2 is a complete revamp, replacing the previous shell script with a more powerful and flexible Python-based solution.

What's New?

• Fully platform-independent – Works seamlessly on Darwin, Linux, and WSL (glibc-based distributions).
• Multi-shell support – Compatible with bash, zsh, fish, ksh, dash, tcsh, and more.
• Faster downloads – Implements parallel downloads with aria2 (awaiting NASA server support).
• Customizable package selection – Users can now define which HEASoft packages to install.

Note: This version retains all essential features while improving performance, compatibility, and user control.

An exception has been added for this where libncurses-dev is enabled for this version and heasoft seems to be working properly
