I think you are referring to the install-tl-ubuntu script. It is indeed
scary particularly because it requires sudo. I'm not proud of that.

Perhaps this does the trick in a less scary way:

mkdir "/tmp/HebrewFonts" &&
cd "/tmp/HebrewFonts" &&
wget "http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ivritex/ivritex_1.1.1-6_all.deb" &&
ar x "ivritex_1.1.1-6_all.deb" && tar -xf "data.tar.gz" &&
rsync -a "usr/share/texmf/" "$(kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL)"
