Description

Something like curl -L URL | bash that would

  • Download the latest version
  • Copy it in something like /home/userName/.echidna
  • Add to the PATH

In addition, an echidna-upgrade script that would download the latest version if available. The script would also be added to /home/userName/.echidna

Contributor guide

Research direction
Write a bash script that downloads the latest Echidna release from GitHub, installs it to ~/.echidna, and adds the bin directory to PATH. Also create an 'echidna upgrade' script that checks for updates and upgrades if available. Ensure the scripts are robust and handle errors.
