That's nice but you can also just look at the linked github repo and inspect install.sh for yourself. It's pretty straightforward. It builds the binary for your monitoring software from the git repo, based on the architecture you're on, and if required sets up a systemd unit to kick it off on boot.

It's quite nice.
