Caution
Downloading files from the internet is not a wise option when privacy and security are your top priorities. If you really want to be secure, do not trust files from the internet; they may contain stegomalware (hidden malicious code inside a file). I recommend not trusting files from random internet users (including me). For installation, I recommend you to manually create the configure.sh file by copying its contents from GitHub, and download your wallpaper from trusted sites. Make sure to use VirusTotal to check that it is not infected.
