Is it safe to pipe the install script into sh?

FAQUpdated

Piping a script into sh runs it right away, so it's sensible to know what it does. The Line installer is served over HTTPS from install.clatterlabs.xyz and verifies the binary's SHA-256 checksum before installing.

Read it before you run it#

curl -fsSL https://install.clatterlabs.xyz/line -o line-install.sh
less line-install.sh
sh line-install.sh

On Windows:

irm https://install.clatterlabs.xyz/line.ps1 -OutFile line-install.ps1
notepad line-install.ps1
.\line-install.ps1

What it doesn't do#

  • It doesn't need or ask for sudo.
  • It only writes the binary, a temporary folder it deletes, and one PATH line in your profile (which you can turn off with LINE_NO_MODIFY_PATH=1).
