True enough... but even then, you can download and review the script before running. Usually it just detects your OS/Distro and then downloads and runs the appropriate installer. You can also do this by hand. For that matter, there's always a risk of downloading/installing anything from anywhere. There have been successful compromises of many application supply chains at this point in official release paths. You will accept some risk regardless of your approach. | ||
