From a3020944c0e36acffd49f109a96c132b968a03ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: escott- Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:41:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: use the plain curl install command in the README quick start MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The macOS and Linux quick start now shows the familiar `curl -fsSL https://contextstream.io/scripts/mcp.sh | bash`. The stricter `bash -o pipefail -c '…'` form moves to "Scripted and CI setup", where failing on a failed download matters most, and that section's opening sentence now introduces it instead of referring to a command no longer shown above.
