Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When trying to install komorebi, it tries to elevate priviledges to admin.
However, it's a company comuputer so I do not have the rights to do so.

Describe the solution you'd like
Being able to install komorebi without the need of admin rights so I can use it on my work laptop.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not using komorebi :'(

Additional context
Tried to install with winget even with --scope user

You can either use scoop, compile from source or download the prebuilt binaries from the release page to avoid the privilege escalation dialog that comes with WinGet.

Would be great to have it published in Microsoft Store. My employer only allows instalations from there, cannot run any standalone exe files as well.
