Relying on redbean.dev is an option over e.g. NodeJS or Python (usually available, even though not always) 1-liners e.g. https://gist.github.com/stephenbradshaw/a2b72b5b58c93ca74b54f7747f18a481 that might be easier to maintain cross-platform.

At the moment though it downloads it every time, which can be slow on devices without a good connection.

Consequently one could consider

  if [ ! -f //tmp/server.com ]; then
    echo "Server not found!"
    wget "$REDBEAN_VERSION" -O /tmp/server.com 
    chmod +x /tmp/server.com 
  fi

to check if the server is present and only download if not.

This overall makes restarting ./make dev much faster.
