Command line installer

[trajano]

Something like this. This assumes no jq, but assumes xz is present

#!/bin/bash
TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/helix-editor/helix/releases/latest | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
curl -L https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases/download/${TAG}/helix-${TAG}-$( arch )-linux.tar.xz |  xz -d | tar xf - -C $TMPDIR
mv $TMPDIR/*/hx $HOME/.local/bin

Then you can do something like

curl -s https://helix-editor.com/install.sh | bash
