#!/bin/bash
#<pre><code>

# This script does exactly 3 things for 1 good reason:
#
# What this does:
#
#   1. Detects either curl or wget and wraps them in helpers
#   2. Exports the helpers for the real installer
#   3. Downloads and runs the real installer
#
# Why
#
#   1. 'curl <smth> | bash -- some args here` breaks interactive input
#       See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16854041/bash-read-is-being-skipped-when-run-from-curl-pipe
#
#   2.  It also has practical risks of running a partially downloaded script, which could be dangeresque
