    I look at the docs, see another tool yet again asks to curl | bash to install it, and sob.

      I’ve seen people complaining about this for years. I still don’t fully understand how it’s so different from downloading random executables and running them separately. Maybe you could get in trouble if you get a network issue mid way? You can still MITM a file download. Feels like a weird hill to die on.

        The alternative isn’t to download random executables, it’s to use your system’s package manager
