Efforts from this project have moved on to a more complete installation utility, and to a more maintained fork
- Download elementary OS or Ubuntu from their respective websites
- Download this app and start it
- Smile, having not gone anywhere near the Terminal; there is no step 3 😄
NOTE: The download link will always be to a stable version; official releases will be here; the current version in the repo may be very unstable - use at your own risk.

Open the app in Automator; you can inspect every line of code with your own eyes. It needs administrator privilieges to flash the thumb drive with the IMG - it uses the system-standard window for that, and the app is unable to access the password at any time.
