Simp-downloader script Reference

The simp-downloader script was created to simplify downloading SIMP installation assets from the official Sicura download server.

You can download the script from here.

Usage

Simp-downloader is a shell script that will run in any Bash environment. After download, you may need to modify the permissions to allow execution:
