KICS install.sh script cannot completed on v1.5.1 and and v1.5.2

Hi, I tried to run KICS install using One-liner Install Script using Curl command: sudo curl -sfL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Checkmarx/kics/master/install.sh' | bash -s -- -b /usr/local/bin I tried with debugging mode and it return:

38 | Checkmarx/kics debug http_download https://github.com/Checkmarx/kics/releases/v1.5.2 39 | Checkmarx/kics info found version: 1.5.2 for v1.5.2/linux/x64 40 | Checkmarx/kics debug downloading files into /tmp/tmp.rgij4CjclP 41 | Checkmarx/kics debug http_download https://github.com/Checkmarx/kics/releases/download/v1.5.2/kics_1.5.2_linux_x64.tar.gz 42 | Checkmarx/kics debug http_download https://github.com/Checkmarx/kics/releases/download/v1.5.2/kics_1.5.2_checksums.txt 43 | % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current 44 | Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 45 |   46 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 47 | 100 1700 100 1700 0 0 47222 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 47222

And when I tried the KICS scanning command: kics scan -p

it gave kics: command not found error response on Linux based CLI

But when I tried to add tag using v1.5.0 , there is no issue and KICS run properly.

Hello, @adhitris 🙂 Thank you so much for contacting us!

KICS deprecated the availability of binaries in the GitHub releases assets as of version 1.5.2.

The lastest (and last) binary available is 1.5.1: https://github.com/Checkmarx/kics/releases/tag/v1.5.1

Hello, @adhitris!

We will close this issue. The file install.sh will be probably removed in the next KICS release (1.6.4) since KICS deprecated the availability of binaries. However, we documented how to build KICS from the source code (PR #5982).

cd kics
go mod vendor
LINUX/MAC: go build -o ./bin/kics cmd/console/main.go
WINDOWS: go build -o ./bin/kics.exe cmd/console/main.go (make sure to create the bin folder)

Note that KICS is available as a Docker image. You can see the documentation here.
