Ghidra installer on NIM.

This project help install ghidra on Linux with $HOME.

Technical part

1. Makefile for maximum optimization. Only enter make in your shell and start the program in binary.

2. puppy, maybe you know request in python, it's a similar tool. Wonderful tool for small installer

3. Zippy wonderful speed in extract power.

4. checkJava, checkVersion and alias. This tool only install&update, not install JDK or more.

Why i do it?

Only because of interest, I wanted a tool with no runtime dependencies (like Python or JVM). And Nim it's easy C. I believe Nim will become a better language, but and now it language is wonderful for me.
