Perform the following steps to install yb-voyager using an installer script:

1. Clone the yb-voyager repository.
   
   ```sh
   git clone https://github.com/yugabyte/yb-voyager.git
   ```
2. Change the directory to `yb-voyager/installer_scripts`.
   
   ```sh
   cd yb-voyager/installer_scripts
   ```
3. Install yb-voyager using the following script:
   
   ```sh
   ./install-yb-voyager
   ```
   
   To install a specific version of yb-voyager on your machine, use the following command:
   
   ```sh
   ./install-yb-voyager --version <VERSION>
   ```
   
   It is safe to execute the script multiple times. If the script fails, check the `/tmp/install-yb-voyager.log` file.
4. The script generates a `.yb-voyager.rc` file in the home directory. Source the file to ensure that the environment variables are set using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   source ~/.yb-voyager.rc
   ```
5. Check that yb-voyager is installed using the following command:
   
   ```sh
   yb-voyager version
   ```
