Thanks for the thoughts Larry and Sandeep. I agree on both ideas. I do think that it would be good to be able to get KnoxShell without having to install the gateway or having admin access. That being said the gateway will be running somewhere and I think it is a nice idea to be able to download it from the UI.
I¹ve added https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-865 to track the release module for this.
