I mean, you can always just download the script, investigate it yourself, and run it locally. I'd even argue it's actually better than most installers.
Install scripts are just the Linux versions of installer exes. Hard and annoying to read, probably deviating from standard behaviour, not documenting everything, probably being bound to specific distros and standards without checks, assuming stuff way too many times.
