There should be a `curl | sh` in this, a security-oriented product? To demonstrate how badly you need it, perhaps?

Please don't pipe the Internet directly into your command line.

Ah yes, because using a package manager to pipe the internet directly into our computer instead is so much better.

Yes. Proper package manager usually proceeds to install only signed packages. It means that usually OS maintainer has verified the purpose of the package.

It gives a quite lot more trust than running arbitrary content as shell script, without any third party verification.

I feel like "curl | sh is fine" has been explained so many times at this point idk how people still aren't on the same page. If you hate "curl | sh" so much I'm sure they can provide some other method of installation.
