minus-squarefoollinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 hours agoWhen it comes to installing stuff, I’m very trigger-happy. So, from experience… Installing stuff on Windows (safely) Hope it’s on Chocolatey (choco install) If not, search for the website online Scroll past the AI slop and suspicious Softonic downloads Click the website Find the correct download button Download Scan with MalwareBytes (don’t want an STI) Run setup.exe Verify PATH and wanted feature set I do not want to bundle Candy Crush or McAfee skim the Privacy Policy to see if they’ll grind my bones to dust Install Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2014-2018 (wtf? I already have 4 of these) Wait Sort the installation shortcuts into my folders Installing stuff on Linux (safely) paru some_software If on AUR, skim PKGBUILD If not packaged at all (rare), git clone it and either skim the install.sh or Makefile Done
