The CLI distributes as a self-contained, statically linked fat binary. No complex Node/Python/Ruby dependencies are strictly required to run it!

**One-liner Install (Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/macOS):**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GyaneshSamanta/cue/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
```

**Arch Linux Specifics:**
The `install.sh` script works directly on Arch. We recommend having `base-devel`, `curl`, and `sudo` ready.

base-devel doesn’t appear to be required for scripts/install.sh (the script only uses bash, curl, coreutils, and optionally sudo to move the downloaded binary). Suggest removing base-devel from the prerequisites or clarifying it’s only needed for building from source, otherwise Arch users may install an unnecessary package group.

The note about an AUR package (cue-bin) being “currently in development” isn’t backed by anything else in the repo (no packaging files/links). Either link to the relevant issue/repo/PR tracking AUR work, or remove/soften the claim to avoid publishing potentially inaccurate install guidance.
