curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubescape/kubescape/master/install.sh | /bin/bash

You can use `nix` on Linux or macOS.

Try it out in an ephemeral shell: `nix-shell -p kubescape`.

NixOS:

```
  # your other config ...
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    # your other packages ...
    kubescape
  ];
```

home-manager:

```
  # your other config ...
  home.packages = with pkgs; [
    # your other packages ...
    kubescape
  ];
```

Or, to your profile (not preferred): `nix-env --install -A nixpkgs.kubescape`.
