I have put several curl|bash things into production and it's done because it's the only way to run installers that work on everything but windows without having to maintain a .deb, .rpm, and brew formula or something.

Often I'll write something like: here's the install steps, or just enter this curl|bash line into your terminal. Guess which users prefer.

People who care can download the script first and/or run it as a different user or in a vm. It's not that scary.



i like it, can you make them available ?
