curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doitintl/dci-cli/main/install.sh | sh Downloads the release archive for this machine, verifies it against the release's checksums.txt, and installs dci to ~/.local/bin with bash/zsh/fish completions, with no root needed. That location survives Cloud Shell restarts (only $HOME persists) and dci update replaces it in place. --version pins a release, --dir picks the directory, and --system installs the .deb/.rpm with sudo. Musl systems get a clear glibc error up front. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Shellcheck plus installs on ubuntu/debian/fedora containers on amd64 and arm64 runners (user install as non-root, pinned version, --system), and an Alpine run that must fail with the glibc message. Runs on changes to the script and weekly, so a release-asset rename that breaks it is caught. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Detect glibc by its presence (getconf, then the arch's glibc loader) instead of refusing any host with a musl loader: Debian's musl-tools puts one on glibc systems. - Run the staged binary before it replaces ~/.local/bin/dci; a binary that can't start (glibc older than 2.34) is removed with a clear error and the existing dci is kept. --system checks the installed binary too. - rpm -U --oldpackage so a pinned --system --version can roll back. - release.yml dispatches the Install Script workflow after each release. - CI covers Alpine, Debian with musl-tools, and Ubuntu 20.04 (old glibc keeps the existing dci). README/DISTRIBUTION state the glibc 2.34 floor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
A one-command Linux install:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doitintl/dci-cli/main/install.sh | shIt downloads the release archive for this machine, checks it against the release's
checksums.txt, and installsdcito~/.local/binwith bash, zsh and fish completions. No root is needed.Why
~/.local/bin: Cloud Shell keeps only$HOME, so a.debinstalled withdpkg -idisappears when the VM restarts. The same install also works in WSL, containers and on machines without sudo.dci updatealready treats a binary there as a standalone install and replaces it in place.Options (passed after
sh -s --):--version <v>/DCI_VERSIONinstalls a specific release.--dir <path>/DCI_INSTALL_DIRpicks the install directory.--systeminstalls the.deb/.rpmpackage with sudo instead.Design notes
--version, the version and checksum both come fromreleases/latest/download/checksums.txt. That avoids the unauthenticated rate limit that shared Cloud Shell and CI IPs run into.main "$@"is the last line, so a script cut off mid-download can't run.dciearlier on PATH would take precedence.shellcheck -s sh.CI
New
install-script.ymlworkflow:shellcheck.ubuntu:24.04,debian:12andfedora:41containers, on both amd64 and arm64 runners. Each run covers a non-root user install with completions, a pinned 2.7.5 install, and--system.Verified locally (Docker)

DISTRIBUTION.md gains a Linux Installer section describing what the script depends on (release asset names and archive layout).
