Fluentterminal: Root Certificate?

[DRSDavidSoft]

Not to be paranoid, but is there a way to install FluentTerminal _without_ installing a Root Certificate into my machine?

Alternatively, how can I sign the code with a different (my own) certificate?

Not right now. But you can build it yourself by following the instructions in the readme.md

Necroing an old issue for a similar question.
Does choco installation also install a root cert?
Is there an official explanation for why a root cert is required? I mean this can be abused pretty badly, and it would take me ages to look through the source to figure out where / why it's used.

@vladkvit I believe it's a Windows Store requirement that is being bypassed with the root certificate, i.e. the package is signed with the root key.

I think Install.ps1 handles the certificate installation.

I'm opening this issue back for a small feature request though -- allowing us to remove the certificate when the installation is complete.

Could Fluent Terminal use a real certificate instead of a custom root cert? I love the app, but this makes me extremely wary of installing it on my work laptop.

Is there a reason for not publishing this on the store then no root cert would be needed?

[Peter-Optiway]

as an alternative solution, would be to generate a root certificate on installation and sign the package with it. this way no 2 users would have the same cert and it would be much harder to exploit!

the next release will be signed by a real and trusted certificate
