Fuck off with your curl something something something | sh to install your
tool.
And this is not about security. I trust HTTPS. I trust you. But I want to know WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SYSTEM WITHOUT HAVING TO READ A FUCKING BASH SCRIPT IN A RANDOM URL. I just want to know how the installation of your tool work. What should be done to get your tool installed. Where are the paths? Which binaries?
Long story short, I was going to install “GHCup” which is a manager for Haskell
or something, and the website told me to do a curl | sh to do shit in my
system and have a ghcup command working. Fortunatelly, they had a link which
read “I don’t like curl | sh” right below the command line. I clicked it and
it read something like this:
Manual installation for Unix
Download the binary from https://somewhere and put in your goddamn
$PATH.
DO YOU THINK I’M WHAT? FIVE?
Do you fucking think I cannot understand how to download a fucking binary and
put somewhere in my $PATH? JUST SAY TO ME FOR YOUR TOOL TO WORK I JUST NEED
1 (ONE) UNIT OF ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV) SOMEWHERE
IN THE FUCKING $PATH. I DON’T NEED A FUCKING BASH SCRIPT TO DO THAT.
Hell. That’s why I like the go installation. They just say it to you: unpack
the release somewhere. Put somewhere/bin in your $PATH. Now I know
everything that’s happening on my system. Fuck.
I’m not even doing the installation. I’m going to sleep, it’s almost midnight at UTC-3. Tomorrow I’ll maybe download your goddamn ELF.
