Hi, thanks for your effort in making installing easier!
Unfortunately I don't have the time to introduce you to all the pitfalls and caveats of shell scripting, but that wget command hit my eye so hard, you should really fix it asap. Maybe you're lucky and nobody exploited these:

wget "http://git.dev.opencascade.org/gitweb/?p=occt.git;a=snapshot;h=89aebdea8d6f4d15cfc50e9458cd8e2e25022326;sf=tgz"
mv "index.html?p=occt.git;a=snapshot;h=89aebdea8d6f4d15cfc50e9458cd8e2e25022326;sf=tgz" occt.tgz

It looks like the occt that wget fetched for you is used to build something that will be installed with administrator privileges later on, and I can't see where in your script you verify that the downloaded file contains the bytes that you expect it would. I'd expect a SHA-256 or GnuPG verification and a big fat security warning if that fails, because otherwise some cheap network traffic attacks can easily compromise your system. Those uses of the /tmp directory also look like they might allow low-privileged processes on the same machine to manipulate your install process.

Also some minor issues:

• Your guess at what filename wget will use might be right most of the time, but there are situations where wget will choose other names. Try the --output-document=… option, best together with --continue if the server supports it, then you probably won't even need to mv it even if wget has to retry the download after partial transfer.
• When there's any chance of special looking chars in the filenames for mv, write them after -- to avoid any chance of mv confusing them with options. There's no confusion problem todaay, but it sneaks up on maintainers after a time. Also state explicitly whether you intend mv to overwrite the target, or not.
• When a command fails, your script should care about it, and handle it in some way. (Unless you actually intend to ignore that failure.) One easy way would be to abort and forward the error code, so invoking scripts can see that your script had a problem. Also it gives users a chance to read the error messages before they're swamped away by later output. (Edit: I see you already dealt with this in post 3561.)

Good luck, I hope you're not hacked yet.
