os:debian 13,
I stuck in the downloading process, the network is stable,and I can visit github via browser, I have closed my firewall, but it doesn't work.
```

```
I have tried the following method:
1.sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl
2. I manually downloaded the V2Ray archive using wget successfully:
'wget https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core/releases/download/v5.12.1/v2ray-linux-64.zip',
it successfully downloaded the zip file, but I don't know how to edit the installation script to skip the downloading process
3.Use a Different Network
4. edit the /etc/hosts, I appended :
199.232.68.133 raw.githubusercontent.com
199.232.68.133 user-images.githubusercontent.com
199.232.68.133 avatars2.githubusercontent.com
199.232.68.133 avatars1.githubusercontent.com
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Based on the information you provided, it seems like you are trying to install a V2ray client instead of a V2ray server. In this case, it's not recommended to use this project.
If you're installing the V2ray server on machines with network connections provided by Chinese ISPs, you may want to consider an offline installation. You can do this by enabling a specific switch in the script.

Thanks. As you may have guessed, I attempted to install the V2Ray client on my Debian 13 PC (not VPS).In fact, I used a proxy to bypass the GFW, and I switched the global mode, but in debian, it seems not exactly "global", After reviewing the installation script, I identified the correct method for downloading the file. Simply appending an option like the following :
-p http://127.0.0.1:my_proxy_port

Glad to know it. BTW I believe some projects fit better as a proxy client, like https://github.com/daeuniverse/dae
