Luckily both can be installed almost as easily without the curl pipe hack... Not sure why so many projects want to reduce install steps from three to one with a shell script. I could understand if you have 90 steps (in which case I would recommend you figure out a better install process in general), but not for simple 'download something, move it to a path, run a command, and you're done'. See my roles for both of the packages you mentioned above on Ansible Galaxy for more info; I tend to avoid doing the curl pipes for sanity even more so than security.

I want to know what I'm doing with my server when I'm installing packages or other software!
