      `curl | sh` is, while not the most secure, a highly popular installation method for CLI tools due to its simplicity and effectiveness. mongosh could also add a similar one.

      Slack thread: https://mongodb.slack.com/archives/CUHC9R8J0/p1757515629268609

      We'd want to talk about whether we care about where we install mongosh and whether we want to run any quick post-installation verification steps
