Just using safe practices when installing software. Reading that script it does use your OS providers package installer and repository. So that part is safe enough. The weird parts are how it then completely replaces your squid.conf with its own broken config file and some (wrong) claims it makes about htpasswd hashing. You should be able to just drop in the default config for your Squid version. Which should be one of these: <https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringSquid#Do_you_have_a_squid.conf_example.3F> OR, a squid.conf.default file containing the above with a few more comments should have been installed with your Squid. A Squid using those defaults should "just work". So your needed technical know-how scales with the complexity of what you are trying to do - from none (default setup) to expert (lots of custom config). eg. if you have sufficient technical know-how to read that installer script and understand it - then choosing to run it can be okay as you should then also know how to fix the broken bits in it. > Can you please point me to one online tutuorial that is easy to understand > and I can just > enter command ? I will install centos I suppose If you are already familiar with that OS then sure. Just be aware CentOS is targeted at corporate installations, so a moderate level of expertise is assumed and building/patching ones own software more common in that community. distrowatch.com is a pretty good resource for getting into OpenSource systems. For example; it lists the top-ten most popular OS distributions as currently: Rank Distribution 1 Manjaro 2 Mint 3 Ubuntu 4 Debian 5 elementary 6 Solus 7 MX Linux 8 Antergos 9 Fedora 10 openSUSE The distro popularity tends to mean they are more polished and easier to use than the less popular OS (which likewise tend to be more targeted at specific uses). Or at very least there are a lot of people knowing about them to be found. [Manjaro being #1 surprises me. The others all match what I have heard from many sources in terms of OS people are finding easy to use.] Tutorials and How-To's should be readily available for most OS. Via your favourite search engine, if not the distribution itself. If you cannot find something you understand for a particular OS it's likely not a good choice to be installing as a beginner. That level of help is technically off-topic here. Once you have a machine you can use, help with the Squid installation and setup parts is what we are all about.
