I would not trust the author just like that.

But then again, I'm a bit paranoid. At a minimum I would download the script and read it, and if it was too long or not written clearly enough then I would just drop it and find something better.

  program.bin
  install.sh
It seems rather pointless for me to thoroughly inspect the install script before I run the program.
