The installation method they officially propagate is dangerous. curl -fsSL https://mimo.xiaomi.com/install | bash

This is usually a PoC (Proof of concept) way to install something on a temporary container or temporary VM, but not for production use during daily desktop operation.

I was hoping their documentation would provide better installation instructions. But strangely, only for Windows do they recommend "npm install -g @mimo-ai/cli," which is a much better approach to managing installed packages.

For Mac/Linux, they have the strange recommendation to use the dangerous "curl <some_url> | bash." Quote:
