Download the file first, verify its integrity (checksum, signature), inspect it, then run it. Prefer package managers over raw downloads. Never fetch-and-run in one step.

Likely FP if the target is a well-known installer (e.g., rustup, Homebrew) from its canonical HTTPS domain, though the pattern is inherently risky.

Download the script first, inspect it, verify its checksum, then run it. Do not pipe curl/wget output directly to sh/bash. Prefer package manager installs.

Likely FP if the download is from a well-known installer domain (e.g., brew.sh, rustup.rs), though this pattern is inherently risky even with trusted sources.

Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.

Likely FP if the matched text is a documentation example showing a common installer one-liner for a well-known tool with a canonical URL.

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

Pin Go install targets to a specific version (e.g., go install example.com/tool@v1.2.3). Avoid @latest as it fetches whatever is currently published.

Likely FP if the go install target is a well-known tool (e.g., golang.org/x/ packages) pinned to a specific version in documentation.
