There’s been a previous [thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/installation-fails-on-ubuntu-22-when-using-instruction-via-curl-curl-23-failure-writing-output-to-destination/110977) 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)
