Short quick start for the lazy ones (also, no Electron so everyone rejoices):

  $ wget https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/releases/download/v3.0.8/ooniprobe_v3.0.8_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  $ # sha512 => 4f215347022028cf5328446d15e59f2141d1a41e59110c0b85c67b711953d115  ooniprobe_v3.0.8_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  $ tar xfv ooniprobe_v3.0.8_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  $ # Move to $PATH
  $ mv ooniprobe ~/bin
  $ # Add crontab to run daily
  $ (crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "$(( ( RANDOM % 60 )  + 1 )) $(( ( RANDOM % 24 )  + 1 )) * * * ooniprobe run") | crontab -

Mostly just stolen directly from the readme of the CLI probe: https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli#ooni-probe-cli

Also, make sure you're not on a network where someone will report you for visiting the "wrong" websites. It does requests to a lot of websites you don't want to be caught with in your history.

Why can't it be just

  $ curl -L https://ooni.org/install | sh

That'd be a great addition! Give it a try and implement it: https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/new/master

Don't forget to think about all the different OSes and the way the handle scheduling!
