Installing GPG Tools without root password
How can I install GPG tools without giving the installer my root password? I always hesitate giving apps my root password.
I'm willing to run sudo commands on the Terminal manually. Then at least I know what sudo is being used for.

I was wondering the same thing.
Why isn't anyone replying to this? Very suspicious.

Hi,
currently when you download and install GPG Suite from https://gpgtools.org/, you have to enter your password.
We have a pending feature request to allow installations without requiring root access.
