Does the installer write anything outside its own directory?

Asked 4,270 views2 answers

Managed laptop. The question I have to answer in writing is not "is it safe", it is "what does it touch" — specifically whether it edits my shell profile, whether it puts anything in a system directory, and whether removing it later is a matter of deleting one tree or hunting for leftovers.

I have read the script and I think the answer is "no, almost nothing", but I would rather quote something than paraphrase myself to a reviewer.

Reviewed before it appears. Wrap commands and output in triple backticks and they will render as a code block.
