Does Anybody Have a Script for Updating MakeMKV?

I prefer installing MakeMKV from scratch instead of using a Flatpak because Flatpaks don't integrate nicely with the rest of the system. The downside to this approach is that it makes updating to a newer version rather laborious. Instead of being able to even update via a script, I have to delete three folders and then install from scratch. I'd love to be able to just pop into the Terminal and run a script.

I don't have a script but, I recently discovered a docker image for makemkv. It gives you a Web GUI with the newest version, really convenient. It might be helpful if you already use docker in your system.

I don't use a script either, but instead have the necessary commands listed in my Wiki so all I need to do is copy/paste them into a shell session. Scripting it is possible, but I was too lazy to work out a way to lookup the new version number to do a proper download.
Here's what I use:
- Initial Setup:
apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev qtbase5-dev zlib1g-dev
mkdir ~/Downloads/MakeMKV
- Set the current version:
VER=1.17.3
- Download the source:
- Compile & Install the OSS package:
cd makemkv-oss-$VER
./configure && make
sudo make install && echo looks good || echo error, try again
- Compile & Install the BIN package:
cd ~/Downloads/MakeMKV/makemkv-bin-$VER
make
(exit the EULA displaly and type "yes" when asked)
sudo make install && echo looks good || echo error, try again
- Cleanup:
rm -rf ~/Downloads/MakeMKV/makemkv-*-$VER
