I am using curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh to install Julia on Kubuntu 24.10. I get this error:
info: downloading installer curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination juliaup: command failed: downloader https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/juliaup/bin/juliainstaller-1.17.9-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl /tmp/tmp.mlz03r5NiA/juliainstaller x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
I am not an experienced linux user therefore looking for an easy installation procedure. Thx!
Is this your personal machine or some other shared system you have access to? Are you able to write to the /tmp directory? What’s the output of the terminal command
ls -lhd /tmp
?
It is a personal laptop. The command ls -lhd /tmp returns this response: drwxrwxrwt 20 root root 4,0K dec 29 17:03 /tmp Thx!
What happens if you do
echo test > /tmp/foobar
cat /tmp/foobar
mkdir /tmp/tmpdir-foobar
ls -l /tmp/tmpdir-foobar
What does …
mount | grep /tmp
… say?
There’s been a previous thread on this problem.
You can try making a temporary directory in your home folder where you have write permission
There was also a question why was using the musl version
It might also be due to having a snap version of curl (why I don’t use Ubuntu anymore, I hate being forced to use snaps)
That’s not a problem, it simply indicates a fully static executable which bundles the musl C library, and thus can be run on any other x86-64 Linux system:
This seems to work properly:
ideapad@ideapad-80ru:~$ echo test > /tmp/foobar ideapad@ideapad-80ru:~$ cat /tmp/foobar test ideapad@ideapad-80ru:~$ mkdir /tmp/tmpdir-foobar ideapad@ideapad-80ru:~$ ls -l /tmp/tmpdir-foobar total 0
I remember having installed Curl with sudo apt, not with Snap. The other posts are getting to technical for me
