Setting up and verifying a snapshot or release:

$wget https://www.funkthat.com/gitea/jmg/snapaid/raw/branch/master/snapaid.sh

Note that the provided filename MUST match exactly the released name so
that it can be found in the index. It could be possible in the future
to find it via shasum, but that is not implemented yet.
