I asked for Linux repositories which means two or three types of 
repositories for most common Linux distributions (ex. ubuntu, fedora and 
openSuSE... etc). You can see VLC player which is one of most famouse 
open source projects how it deals with Linux 
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ all Linux users can get latest release 
just in one click without dealing with dependencies hell

Current Linux installer doesn't work fine at all because we've to 
install some packages to make it works (ex. build-essential, 
libgl1-mesa-dev.... etc)
This is really not acceptable for all-in-one installer and make it not 
different from usual repository dependencies.
