‘Unterminated quoted string’ when installing elastic-agent #5612

Getting this error when running the installation command on my VM terminal. I'm running Kali Linux through UTM on a Mac.

"./elastic-agent: 3: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string"

Couldn't see anything wrong with the config file but maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing? When I run the installation command it starts initially, runs through a bunch of files, asks for my password, and then gives me the error. Any help would be appreciated!

That looks a lot like the elastic-agent executable is a script with an error on line 3. It should be a symlink to a compiled Go application (or just a compiled Go application depend on where it is invoked from).
