Seems cool but I could not get this to install on Ubuntu 8 (old I know) ... even trying to do a wget gave me this error
"ERROR: Certificate verification error for github.com: unable to get local issuer certificate"
- hardik988 14y agoUse wget with --no-check-certificate or change https to http
- kylemaxwell 14y agoThis seems like such a bad idea... certs exist in repos for very good reasons.
- hardik988 14y agoSure, but if you're simply downloading a shell script (whose source code you can see) from github (a site you can trust), I don't see the issue.
- Firehed 14y agoIf it can't validate the cert, it could be the sign of a MITM attack. Likely? No, but I wouldn't take content with cert issues and run it as root. At least not without validating it in some other way.
- hardik988 14y agoYou're right. It very well could be a MITM attack. But I guess you could see the source code for yourself after you've downloaded it right? Anyhow, I agree that using --no-check-certificate is usually a bad idea.
