Describe your issue

Error using recommended micromamba install script on Windows Git Bash:

"${SHELL}" <(curl -L micro.mamba.pm/install.sh)
ps: unknown option -- o

Indeed, the ps installed in my Git Bash does not have -o:

The installation continues and appears to work though.

$ ps -h
Usage: ps [-aefls] [-u UID] [-p PID]

Report process status

 -a, --all       show processes of all users
 -e, --everyone  show processes of all users
 -f, --full      show process uids, ppids
 -h, --help      output usage information and exit
 -l, --long      show process uids, ppids, pgids, winpids
 -p, --process   show information for specified PID
 -s, --summary   show process summary
 -u, --user      list processes owned by UID
 -V, --version   output version information and exit
 -W, --windows   show windows as well as cygwin processes

With no options, ps outputs the long format by default

Hi @kylekeppler, it must come from this line: https://github.com/mamba-org/micromamba-releases/blob/7225fdb6de390fe6b69c9cfc7fa4a5447c58d81a/install.sh#L6C1-L6C36

Since this is optional, maybe we can add a fallback like so $(ps -o comm $PPID 2>/dev/null || echo "failed" | tail -1). What does ps -o comm $PPID 2>/dev/null || echo "failed" | tail -1 produce for you? what about echo ${SHELL}?
