- Pooge 2mo agoI agree with you that the author of this project is catching a stray bullet, but I also have to agree with GP that `curl | bash` got way too out of hand. I don't know where that came from but it should definitely disappear. At least the developer includes the binaries for all platforms in the GitHub release page.

- xp84 2mo agoHow is it "adding no value"? It's not crazy to prefer a package manager package to a curl|bash YOLO. OP is stating that preference, which various people have agreed with. If you posted "I love curl|bash install method - please do more of this" that is also fine. Either way it's a signal for both the author and anyone considering shipping this type of software, that their audience may have a certain preference.
- nemomarx 2mo agoI know it's kind of a nitpick, but is there really no value at all in "your install is just curl | bash and that seems insecure and risky" I would want to know that about any project before I try and evaluate it personally.
