I guess a real script with "curl zamfoo.com/?license=$ZAMFOO_LICENSE" | sh" was too hard so I'm better off giving my root password to strangers.

- hnha 13y agoI hope you are bring sarcastic. Never ever do something like that! Or would you also blindly execute anything I tell you to?
- RKearney 13y agoThat's the point. That's exactly what the form is having you do.
- joshguthrie 13y agoSarcastic. Not too long ago, npm install was done that way. And IIRC I had to install some Python package manager that way too (or was it PHP?).
- LeafStorm 13y agoThat's still the recommended way to install Distribute (for Python) [1] -- though they at least don't recommend you pipe it to sh directly. Composer (for PHP) [2] also uses this install method, but you can just download the Phar file from their Web site directly -- all the sh script does is check PHP settings and dependencies.
