I've been running the following command successfully for months: curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grahampugh/erase-install/main/erase-install.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin --user=admin --force-curl --erase --min-drive-space 45 --replace_invalid --check-power --power-wait-limit 180

However, when I tried it today, I got the following error message:

What has changed? I'm first logging in as the admin user in Terminal, while the user "myusername" is logged in in the GUI, so that I have sudo.

This command works fine: curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grahampugh/erase-install/v26.2/erase-install.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin --user=admin --force-curl --erase --min-drive-space 45 --replace_invalid --check-power --power-wait-limit 180

Oops, sorry, looks like I did a weird extra commit into 27.0 that should not have happened, which then got merged into main. I didn't notice because I tested with the package, which was made before that extra commit.

I've reverted it to the "real" 27.0 now, so it should be good now.
