Basically, Bb Pipelines support conditions, be it file checks using -e or comparisons. For instance, these lines all do work:

script:
  - '[ ! -e "$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/missing.txt" ] && echo "File does not exist"'
  - 'if [ ! -e "$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/missing.txt" ]; then echo "File does not exist"; fi'
  - if [ ! -e "$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/missing.txt" ]; then echo "File does not exist"; fi

As shown in the example, for some commands it can be needed to wrap the line in single quotes (here, only for demonstration purposes), so if Bb reports a syntax error, you should experiment with that.

But: are you sure you really want $HOME? By default, you are in $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR – not in $HOME –, and therefore the curl call downloads the SDK to $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR.
