install-latest.sh fails on GitHub API rate limits from shared/datacenter IPs #430

Description

@myurasov-nv

Problem

bin/install-latest.sh resolves the latest release via unauthenticated GitHub API calls; from shared/datacenter egress IPs the quota is exhausted (same root cause as #411) and the install fails:

API rate limit exceeded ... set GITHUB_TOKEN to avoid rate limits

Observed on a datacenter Ubuntu host, 2026-07-25.

Fix

Workaround

  1. On any authenticated machine: gh api repos/brevdev/brev-cli/releases/latest -> asset URL
  2. On the target: curl -fsSL -o /tmp/brev.tgz <url> && tar -xzf /tmp/brev.tgz -C /tmp && sudo mv /tmp/brev /usr/local/bin/
