Running a file from a MEGA link

Question

Hi everyone! I'm currently trying to make a Hub for one of my games, a place where you can quickly install the game without having to actually get the link to the game directly. If there is a better way of doing this, please tell me, but right now I think that creating an installer file, then uploading it to mega or mediafire, and then making a button run the file linked to that link when pressed could work. However, I have absolutely no clue how to make that? Of course, I could just make it open the url to the installer itself, and then let the person download it and run it by themselves, or just the game in a .rar file itself. But, I just want it to be as easy as possible. Does anyone know how to do this? Would this even work?

That requires two separate actions

Download the file
Install the game

For downloading, I made a tutorial on how to use WebRequests to download from an HTTP here https://unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=Gk0-amfn5DM

Then for installing, I'm not sure if Unity has built-in support for .rar but there's a bunch of free .zip unarchivers on the Asset Store. If your game does not require any special installation, if its just unzipping and copy to a folder then that could work.
