Instead of asking people to download release and unzip, look into writing script to use curl to download release and unzip files
Only when users download the release zip file does a "download" get counted.
Our installation instructions say to do a "git clone" of the LME repo which does not count as a download. Github does not keep track of clones.
Our current downloads may be undercounted. We also have to consider if peole download each release, should that count as a download since it's not a unique instance.
Something like this could simplify the install process AND allow us to accurately track downloads:
first
sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl jq unzip -y
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/cisagov/LME/releases/latest | jq -r '.assets[0].browser_download_url' | xargs -I {} sh -c 'curl -L -O {} && unzip -d /opt/lme/ "$(basename {})"'
This will automatically grab the latest .zip release, and unzip the files to /opt/lme
We could script this out even further and the install directions would be
' curl download this .sh and run it' and it would do all of this including chmods, and ./deploy.sh install
This looks great!
It looks like I was confusing the installation instructions in Chapter 1 with the way I install LME myself and the "git clones" I've seen in scripts. The installation instructions actually do say to download the release.
While this is good for now, your approach would be great to incorporate when we modify Clint's InstallScript to be published for all users to use. I see that deploy.sh uses the first part of your curl command.
We need to make it clear to everyone that downloads are not unique instances.
I think I will put that into my script. I don't like cloning it. Thanks, Clint Baxley @.***
Windows is great... I used it to download Linux.
