Andrew, I'm sorry you had a hard time. There is a top-level link on the very blog post you were reading labeled "install" and if you go to the home page of
luvit.io there is a huge install button linking to the same. The install page explains how to install lit and how to build luvit from that.
Peter, I don't see how piping a shell script to sh is any worse than downloading unsigned binaries and running them. If anything this is safer because anyone who is paranoid can simply do the curl and sh in two steps and read the script in between to verify what it's doing. With binaries this is considerably more difficult. (Also this is just bootstrap to download the right binaries anyway)
