Sarcastic. 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.
