I have Debian 9.13 installed
As root I did
   curl https://cht.sh/:cht.sh > /usr/bin/cht.sh
   chmod +x /usr/bin/cht.sh
Then as normal user did
   cht.sh --standalone-install

I got multiple warning messages including a missing dependency and 
warning that my Python was too old. I'm in process of installing
Debian 10.7 on another machine. I'll try again this afternoon or tomorrow.
Thanks.
