I don't understand what those 3 lines are attempting to do.
What should I be reading?

curl(1)
bash(1) (Redirection)
chmod(1)
less ~/bin/cht.sh

Just for the record, there should be a mkdir -p ~/bin in there as
well.  And one might need to log out and back in to get ~/bin into
one's PATH, depending on how one's dot files are set up.  (Manual
modification of PATH is also acceptable.)

That's what I get for blindly copying and pasting the "directions" from
Github. I should've have just told Monnier that the whole shebang
can be installed locally, which renders inoperative his nitpick about
not having the Net when he needs to cheat the most (or most often).


FYI
It may be "operator error", but I get a "Could not install python dependencies into the virtual environment" ERROR when trying to install on Debian 10.7. The install.log is 6.6kB of messages I don't have the background to interpret. A side effect is destruction of the ability to consistently edit Profile Preferences. {perhaps also operator error}.
I'll not pursue further.
