chmod +x ./install.sh
./install.sh
Hmm usually not a secure practice to do this

What’s the alternative to doing this? Is it safer to read the script first and then execute it as
sh ./install.sh?

Those instructions are from the official docs, and install.sh comes from the source repo. It’s an annoying script (it basically runs apt, npm, make, on your behalf…thanks, I can do that myself), but if you’re trusting the repo source to begin with, I don’t think it’s any less secure.
