As you can see, I use the cmd you provided to install pkgx, but fail.

Then I simple run the cmd irm https://pkgx.sh > pkgx.sh to see what happen. And here is the code in pkgx.sh

Somehow, the download link redirects to the webpage where the GitHub repository is located.

I guess this is a bug. Please fix it.

    Looks like the code which detects the cli invocation isn't working. So, I likely need to know what user-agent irm is supplying on win11.

    In the meantime, you can skip the "easy" redirect, and get the installer script directly:

    PS > irm https://github.com/pkgxdev/setup/blob/main/installer.ps1 | iex

    Specifically, the pre-routing does this:

    var ua = request.headers['user-agent'] ? request.headers['user-agent'].value : '';
...
    } else if (/\sWindowsPowerShell\//.test(ua) && (newhost || host) == "pkgx.sh") {
        request.uri = "/installer.ps1";

    so, it's possible irm isn't including WindowsPowerShell in its user-agent value.
