Can't install choosenim via init.sh - curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

We can't install choosenim on Unix

curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh

choosenim-init: Downloading choosenim-0.8.4_linux_amd64
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Looks like init.sh (choosenim-unix-init.sh?) is looking for an artifact which does not exist

curl -sSfL https://github.com/nim-lang/choosenim/releases/download/v0.8.4/choosenim-0.8.4_linux_amd64 -o /tmp/choosenim-0.8.4_linux_amd64

which is returned by the request

curl -sSfL https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/stable
0.8.4

I've temporarily sidestepped this with sed to use the old url https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/komodo-wallet-desktop/commit/a3db7f3eaaa229ac307f6a27c1b59b076b5c5b25

You caught us in the middle of the update, if instead of using the old URL you force the version to 0.8.5 it should work and now be tied to this version so that choosenim update self will work in the future.

Hi, would you mind trying again? I pushed a hot fix for a transition period. The version will be updated correctly later

Though you might need to use latest choosenim versions namely: 0.8.4 and 0.8.5

@ringabout, did a check on clean Ubuntu

apt update
apt install build-essential

curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh

All works as expected, CI is green now - thank you for the quick fix!

@cipig Hello, I have downgraded the built environment to ubuntu 20.04 as a workaround => https://github.com/nim-lang/choosenim/pull/15 Would you mind trying again?
