Failed to install Volta version 1.1.1 on Linux
I am attempting to install Volta version 1.1.1 on my Linux system by running the command curl https://get.volta.sh | bash. However, I am encountering the following error:
Warning: Failed to open the file /tmp/tmp.OxtXds0NOr/volta-1.1.1-linux.tar.gz:
Warning: No such file or directory
curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination
Error: Could not download Volta version '1.1.1'. See https://github.com/volta-cli/volta/releases for a list of available releases
My system is running Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) and I have not made any modifications to the system before attempting to install Volta.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Thank you! 🙏🏿
After a short research I found out that curl is the problem here, not the Volta installer.
You can find the details in this answer: here
To save you the clicks:
sudo snap remove curl
sudo apt install curl
@CriPstian Thanks for tracking that down! I wonder if there's something we can do with our scripts to make them work properly even with the snap version of curl. It looks like the underlying issue is tied to hidden / tmp folders, possibly we can download to a known directory instead. Though it may be tricky to come up with one that we have access to in general.
I found a small article documenting the curl release on the snap store here.
It says that because of the snap store restrictions:
Currently write access is only possible to the home directory of the user invoking the snap
It also suggest a way to write to a file is to use a shell redirect:
Using the shell redirect (>) it can still write anywhere as it ultimately it is the shell doing the writing in that case and not the snapped curl.
I guess there are two options:
- Download to current directory and try to clean up after
- Use the shell redirect and see if it is able to access the downloaded file there
Seems like an old issue but I'm having a smimilar problem today:
curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'get.volta.sh'
Anyone have any ideas? I've already tried passing -k and -insecure to curl with no luck.
Download the files corresponding to the corresponding version. After downloading and decompressing, execute them all.

Re-execute the installation command
curl https://get.volta.sh | bash
May be you should manually install this cli tool. Visit url: https://github.com/volta-cli/volta/releases, download and unzip it. Then add your path.
Greetings, I face same issue, here is what I did and finally it worked for me.
I had installed the curl using sudo snap curl. Here was the issue. i do not the reason but i removed the curl using curl snap remove curl. Then, I install curl using sudo apt install curl and the command worked for me. curl https://get.volta.sh | bash
