What the installer does

Detects: Matches the operating system, CPU, and Linux libc to the right install method and release. Static ARM32 and LoongArch binaries also work across glibc, musl, and uClibc userlands.
Verifies: Checks SHA-256 and available provenance, then runs --version before replacing anything.
Installs safely: Uses a directory on PATH and replaces atomically. Privilege is requested only when needed.

Review the shell installer or PowerShell installer.
