Answer 1

How you get your natively written application installed depends on the operating system.

For a tiny program that just adds numbers together, you should be able to make a completely independent exe file or executable binary. The installation process could be as simple as just asking people to save the binary file and running it any time they want to launch your application. If it was more complex, asking people to download and extract a zip file could work too.

If you want to get fancy and configure the installation process complete with a custom logo, desktop icon... you can use some existing tools to make an "installer".

For Windows, https://wixtoolset.org/ seems like a good set of tools for creating an installer.
