  I really wish people would stop doing this. It gets tiresome having to check every stupid little install script before running when there is a PERFECTLY GOOD one-liner that does the same damn thing without hiding anything from the user: apt-key add [key]; apt-apt-repository [repo]; apt-get update; apt-get install [program] There: one line, no script-reading BS, and it gets it done!

    Your one-liner only works on Debian-derived Linux distros. Usually the whole point of a curl|bash one-liner is that it works on every Unix-like system.

      Fair enough. I don't know enough about other package managers to know if they can be sequenced like this, but there's nothing wrong with providing another listing like OP with the script link.
