Additionally, Instl provides a server that generates dynamic scripts that install a GitHub project.

Web Installer

The web install command can be used by anyone and does not require anything to be installed. Running the web install command will download instl and install the given GitHub project. After that, instl will be removed from the system again.

The instl web installer is a single command, which everyone can run, to install a GitHub project. This is the basic syntax, which will return an install script from our API server:

                     ┌ The GitHub username of the project
                     |        ┌ The GitHub repository name of the project
                     |        |       ┌ The platform, see "Valid Platforms"
                     |        |       |
