is there something wrong with my shell?

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide. Thank you!

Code of Conduct

Digging through the script I was able to put together the download url, and manually finish the installation. For those that run into this issue, here's a solution: curl --silent --fail --location https://download.surrealdb.com/v1.0.0-beta.8/surreal-v1.0.0-beta.8.linux-amd64.tgz --output surreal.tgz tar -zxvf surreal.tgz sudo mv surreal /usr/local/bin/

NOTE: this url may become obsolete with future versions of SurrealDB. Also the url here is for 64bit linux distributions only. The instructions offer no guarantee the binary will work, so use at your own risk.
