# meta.sh(1)

A curl-able repository of shell scripts

## USAGE

The root meta.sh index serves a script to non-browser UAs that will download

any script on meta.sh and prompt for review/editing before execution. For

example, if you wanted to install dogecoind on Ubuntu using the script

available on meta.sh, you could request the script for editing and review like

so:

```bash

bash <(curl meta.sh) setup/dogecoin/ubuntu

```

Since piping the output from an untrusted command directly into bash is a

pretty wildly reckless thing to do, it's recommended that you download the

meta.sh index script locally first, review it manually, then save it somewhere

like your home bin directory so that you don't have to trust the remote every

time you request a script from meta.sh. See

[meta.sh/install](http://meta.sh/install) for a guide.

On the other side of recklessness, the contents of all scripts on meta.sh are

accessible directly, so if you're confident that you don't need to review a

script before you pipe it into bash, you can just request it directly. For

example, to use aur.sh:

```bash

bash <(curl meta.sh/aur) -si packer

```
