Possibility to script/pre-configure Proton-GE on fresh installation ?

Hi there, on fresh Heroic installation (Linux Ubuntu), Wine is the default version available. Is it possible to pre-configure or script the installation of Proton-GE as default Wine version ? I see config.json can be configured with wineVersion but how should I go with Proton-GE install to reproduce what Heroic does in the UI ? For context: I'm the creator of Cloudy Pad, a FOSS tool to deploy Cloud gaming instances. I'm trying to integrate Heroic. My goal is to automate setup of Heroic so that users won't have too much "technical" tasks to perform. Thanks in advance !
Solution:
this is all that is needed, just unpack the proton into heroics tools

Well, it seems Heroic simply untar the Proton release archive into a folder like ~/.config/heroic/tools/proton/GE-Proton-latest. Are there additional actions to perform or is this sufficient ?

But if it doesn't pick it up as a default one I can look more into what config file stores default game settings let me know
