With the z/OS Open Tools you don't need to use zopen, or any front-end, to install any of their ports.
For example, here is a direct link to the curl port https://github.com/ZOSOpenTools/curlport Lionel B.

If he’s got problems going through a proxy couldn't the same kind of problems occur using zopen and GitHub with Github tokens? I don’t find using zopen to be easier to use then conda. It’s certainly nowhere near as powerful, for example, virtual environments. I like zopen but I find having to source .env files a PITA and slow when configured in profile scripts. Using conda is just like using homebrew on my Mac. Hat’s off the z/OS Open Tools devs for getting something working well enough with only shell scripts. > > We also discuss things related to the z/OS Open Tools here > https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://discord.com/channels/8803224716083 > 44597/1118254421202182185__;!!MwwqYLOC6b6whF7V!k_US3TMoavpn0TTm6PL_t4rNIIj6tb_vQCrZo3Woa9SZfCu8-YcuyurtSKg-wqbEMfgyiqFe5Wlf3e-1v2I$ > and you're welcome to join us. > > > Lionel B.
