### Installation

```sh
ORY_CI_INSTALL_REF=<40-character-ory-ci-commit-sha>
curl --fail --location \
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/ci/${ORY_CI_INSTALL_REF}/licenses/install" |
sh
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/ci/master/licenses/install | sh

Calling the installer without arguments remains supported and installs the
license assets from its built-in, pinned revision.

Standalone consumers should pin both the installer itself and its asset source
to the same full commit SHA:

```sh
ORY_CI_REF=<40-character-ory-ci-commit-sha>
curl --fail --location \
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/ci/${ORY_CI_REF}/licenses/install" |
sh -s -- --source-ref "${ORY_CI_REF}"
```

Composite actions and local development can install the files bundled in a
checkout instead. The source directory must contain `checksums.sha256` and the
five license assets next to it:

```sh
sh licenses/install --source-dir "$(pwd)/licenses"
```

`--source-ref` and `--source-dir` are mutually exclusive. In either explicit
mode, every asset is staged, checked against the selected source's SHA-256
manifest, and only then moved into `.bin`. `--full-install` can be combined with
either source option to install both language templates.

Default-mode checksums are not tied to DEFAULT_SOURCE_REF. The embedded hash list describes assets at the pinned revision, but nothing verifies that binding, and the test suite compares default-mode downloads against working-tree files instead.

  • licenses/install#L134-L142: derive or verify the embedded list against checksums.sha256 at DEFAULT_SOURCE_REF, and bump the ref whenever an asset changes.
  • licenses/test.sh#L162-L182: assert that the embedded default checksums match the manifest at DEFAULT_SOURCE_REF, or serve fixtures captured from that revision instead of $LICENSE_DIR.
