Can't install pwsh

[virzak]

What were you trying to install (or what else went wrong)?

pwsh

What exactly did you do?

curl -sS https://webi.sh/[email protected] | sh

What went wrong?

You should be able to run the same using docker if you don't have podman

🚀  podman run --rm catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest sh -c "curl -sS https://webi.sh/[email protected] | sh"

Possible explanation

Since pwsh is not in $PATH yet, it needs to be called fully qualified. https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/blob/c431ce0b22dd4a577af1be4f0ebf5c0a22c689ef/pwsh/install.sh#L49

I think that the package format changed between 7.3 and 7.4.

That's the worst, because I really don't want to have conditionals between installer versions.

People just don't treat Releases like an API.
