I have a new ubuntu 22 computer, and try to install Julia via:

```julia
$ curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh

info: downloading installer
curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination
juliaup: command failed: downloader https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/juliaup/bin/juliainstaller-1.14.5-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl /tmp/tmp.reaO5Z3yWc/juliainstaller x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

```

(output included)

Not sure how to proceed from here. The computer is new, and there is not previous Julai installations on it. I have sudo permissions. Here is some info:

```julia
 lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release:	22.04
Codename:	jammy

```

I have tried restarting the computer, but the result is the same.

Have you tried installing using apt? Just try a generic

```julia
sudo apt install julia

```

Should work fine.

Does this install Julai with the juliaup interface active?

I have some vague memory of running into problems with the `/tmp` directory under ubuntu.

You might want to try changing your configuration to use a `tmp` directory in your user directory e.g. `~/tmp`

Think you would do `mkdir ~/tmp` and then `export TMPDIR=~/tmp`.

It’s a while since I’ve had to do this so hope I’m not sending you off in the wrong direction, but perhaps worth a shot if nothing else is working.

edit: `TMPDIR` works with debian and the `mktemp` command rather than `TEMP`

Idiot question from me - why the musl version? Ubuntu 22 is a pretty mainstream distro, why not glibc?

When I do this I get an error:

```julia

Unfortunatley modifying the TMP directory didn’t work either:

```julia

Could you give this a try:  
cd /tmp  
wget [https://install.julialang.org](https://install.julialang.org)  
sh -x index.html

ps. totally unrelated anecdote - at FOSDEM the developer of curl said he received death threats (some unbalanced person was convinced that the developer ruined his life for some bizarre reason)  
Also he regularly gets help requests for automotive satnav setups as his email address is listed in the copyright notices.

You might just download the zip file, put is somewhere, and put it in your PATH  
[https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.10/julia-1.10.1-linux-x86\_64.tar.gz](https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.10/julia-1.10.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)

I had to do that with Solus that I run in a VM, works fine.

You probably need the `export`, so

`export TMPDIR=~/tmp`

Also, thinking about it, the script might start it’s own shell and the environment variable won’t persist, so you could try adding it to your `.bashrc` file

```bash
echo export TMPDIR=~/tmp >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

```

Check it’s as expected when you start a new shell session

```bash
echo $TMPDIR

```

When you run `mktemp` it should create a directory in the right location e.g. `~/tmp/tmp.aksjdfh234`

Note the part in your error message:

> [@Torkel](#):

> `juliaup: command failed: downloader https://ju[...]-musl /tmp/tmp.reaO5Z3yWc/juliainstaller x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`

**`/tmp/tmp.reaO5Z3yWc`**

This is what I’m intending to see change.

I think that might work for Julia 1.10 specifically, but I want to download the full juliaup version manager, since that just makes everything way easier once I want a new version.

Glad I could help.

Next question, why? 😆

The `/tmp` folder has weird permissions

```bash
drwxrwxrwt 21 root root 20K Mar 2 14:39 tmp/

```

Note, the `t` at the end which is a “sticky” permission with execute, whatever that means.

We’re both on debian based systems, but I wonder if Ubuntu does something weird.

Got it. Still surprised how messy this is, figured I should have a really standard set up.

Something still seems quite off here. Why is it downloading the musl version?

How did you install Ubuntu?

I agree with @mkitti Please tell us your setup and the fix. This could be helpful for people in the future.

So, this is what confuses me. I just got a new laptop from [https://system76.com/](https://system76.com/) (which specialises in linux laptops), with Ubuntu 22 on. I really hadn’t installed or done anything at all with it when i encountered this problem. So I figured my set-up should be the most normal one could expect. It seems really strange that I got these problems.
