There is a github repo. Clone it and build it, after all you are a developer, right?

If you want to run Ammonite on Windows the only way is to clone the repo, patch it and build it.

You are right to be careful, even paranoid, but the security issues are not a showstopper.

Not a show stopper, but will make it less likely people will spend the time trying it out. If things like "brew install x" were not important, it wouldn't had 7000 stars on github and used by almost any Mac developer. Yes, we can build all from source... but how many of us prefer doing it over using a trusted package manager? Ammonite is about developer productivity, or so I believe, so having to clone and build it from source is not going to increase the amount of people trying it out... part of shipping is security, and security should be there from the get go, it's not something you just add later.

You can `brew install ammonite` too https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formul...

Its amazing for anything internal,

I import it using sbt/ivy and load the console/run an ssh session!
