I think Homebrew still makes a mess with permissions on multiuser systems (at least on macOS), so it's probably not a good example of best practices.

- llm_nerd 9mo agoI'm not holding it as a best practice, and I don't see how that was interpreted from my comment. I think installation through a copy/pasted script is terrible business. But it was held as something exceptional, when here in reality a number of extremely widely used products, frameworks and tools provide installation through a curled shell script command. Another example is CUDA on Linux. Installed via some copy/pasted scripts from a webpage.
- steve1977 9mo agoI have must misunderstood or misinterpreted your comment a bit then. I fully agree, this seems to be becoming more and more common unfortunately.
