my first guess would normally be to look at the shell script[0] and follow along, but it looks like it's not super easy to follow. It's also not very easy to audit, for that matter.

I do see it using its root privileges to force-install packages without prompting (and not even properly—it uses the legacy `apt-get` rather than `apt`—why?), and it's completely unclear that I'd be consenting to this.

Actually, the reason why I don't execute arbitrary code on my machine as root is because it's impossible not to consent to having packages force-installed without prompt.

So the shell script installer grants this app a hard pass for me.

apt is asking you not to use apt in scripts yet because it doesn't yet have a stable cli interface yet.

Oh, nice catch
