### Linux

#### Experimental: install from source helper script

If you would like to help dogfood our new install from source helper script,
run the following:

1. To ensure `curl` is installed:

```shell
curl --version
```

If `curl` is not installed, please use your distribution's package manager
to install it.

0. To download and run the script:

```shell
curl -o install-from-source.sh -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/main/src/linux/Packaging.Linux/install-from-source.sh &&
sh ./install-from-source.sh
git-credential-manager-core configure
```

__Note:__ You will be prompted to enter your credentials so that the script
can download GCM's dependencies using your distribution's package
manager.

#### Ubuntu/Debian distributions

Download the latest [.deb package](https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/releases/latest), and run the following:
