Default rkhunter installer script

I wrote a small script to automate rkhunter installation,

Code:
!/bin/bash
#Script written by digen

clear

rkhunter=/usr/local/bin/rkhunter;

echo "Rootkit Hunter Installer...";

echo "Searching for rkhunter installations...";

if [ -d /usr/local/rkhunter ];

then

echo " rkhunter installation found...updating to latest version";

rkhunter --update;

echo "rkhunter has been updated to the latest version";

else

echo "rkhunter not found. Fetching latest tarball and installing.."

cd /opt;
wget -c http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rkhunter/rkhunter-1.2.9.tar.gz;
tar xvzf rkhunter-1.2.9.tar.gz;
cd rkhunter-1.2.9;
./installer.sh;

echo "Rootkit Hunter has been installed";


fi

exit
Any mistakes, corrections or any improvisations/feedback that I can make to this script would be much appreciated. Just started with scripting

Welcome to forum!

Good start, IMPO. Here are few little clean ups and few improvements. If version 1.2.10 out you need to make lots of changes. But with single variable VERSION you avoid this problem. Also no need to add ; (it is not C program).

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Script written by digen

VERSION="1.2.9"
URL="http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rkhunter/rkhunter-$VERSION.tar.gz"
TARBALL="rkhunter-$VERSION.tar.gz"

echo "Rootkit Hunter Installer..."
echo "Searching for rkhunter installations..."
if [ -d /usr/local/rkhunter ]
then
  echo " rkhunter installation found...updating to latest version"
  rkhunter --update;
  echo "rkhunter has been updated to the latest version"
else
  echo "rkhunter not found. Fetching latest tarball and installing.."
  cd /opt
  wget -c $URL
  tar xvzf $TARBALL
  cd rkhunter-$VERSION
  ./installer.sh;
  echo "Rootkit Hunter has been installed";
fi
