Cannot execute juliainstaller

[aplavin]

First time trying juliaup, attempted to install in on a server (with gentoo). The result is:

╰─$ curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh


info: downloading installer
Cannot execute /tmp/tmp.WgttSEbBvc/juliainstaller.
Please install the files to a location where you can execute binaries.

The server policy is to mount the /tmp filesystem as noexec, so makes sense that it couldn't execute that file.

I tried copying /tmp/tmp.WgttSEbBvc/juliainstaller to another location to run it, but the file doesn't seem to even exist.

What else can I do to install juliaup?

Maybe we need to add a command line argument for the shell script that allows one to specify a temporary location where the juliainstaller should be put? In a case like yours one could then simply specify an alternative location that is different than /tmp. Would that work?

Solved it with curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | TMPDIR=~/tmp sh.

Issue #673 is related: there curl can't download to /tmp.
