+The same script works for both RedHat/Fedora and Ubuntu/Debian. There are a number of other quality of life improvements too. To run it from the web use either of the following commands:
 
 ```bash
 curl -fsSL https://tinyurl.com/SetupLinux4Delphi | sudo bash 
 ```
 
-⚠️*Warning*: Is is recommended to [locally review the script](scripts/SetupLinux4Delphi.sh) before running it in a *production* envorment. Also, curl is a requirement to run the above command. It is usually installed, but if you are missing it then run `sudo apt install curl -y` first.
+If you don't have curl you can use wget instead (Debian usually excludes curl by default):
+
+```bash
+wget -q -O https://tinyurl.com/SetupLinux4Delphi | sudo bash

-✅*Update*: To improve performance, especially if testing in a containerized environment, calls to `apt`, `yum`, & `dnf`use  `--no-install-recommends` or `--setopt=install_weak_deps=False` respectively, which prevents the installation of *recommended packages*, which are not essential for the core functionality. Not only does that save time and disk space, but it makes the script less likely to chage unrelated packages you might need.

 The installation location changed now, so it isn't user specific. Also, the same script supports earlier versions of Delphi. It defaults to the latest, but you can specify any different version:
