No. If you look at the instaal prompt, it is just a step by step instructionon how to check the environment, download the script, build the app, run the app, test if it is all good.

That is the whole install prompt. There is literally no need to waste a million tokens on that when a simple bash script can do it for free.

If you're going to use AI for this, ask it to write you a bash script that does all these things. Maybe even a ps1 script to go with it.
