Does not work if remote host default shell is csh

[fin-tsg]

I ues csh on the remote host.

The Server installation script appears to be run line by line in the login shell, and it assumes that shell is Bash.

Could the Server installation script be explicitly run in Bash?

I have attached the output with personal info redacted:

[bpawnzZ]

i'm having i think the same issue but with zsh

[SolsticeSpectrum]

same issue on zsh, the download url gets fucked

[SolsticeSpectrum]

@jeanp413 can we do a quick fix by running everything with /bin/bash?

[filo87]

also on zsh and failing with same error

[filo87]

also on zsh and failing with same error

Deleting al the .cursor and .vscode directories from my user's home directory solved the issue for me.

[dpinhas]

same issue, no workaround

[pomponne]

same here, with csh
