Try using | bash - instead of | sh - . curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | bash -  curl writes to stdout by default, so the | pipe character diverts the output, in this case the sh terminal.  Try using | bash - which will pipe its live output to a bash terminal.  The - character at the end means that the terminal will accept anything sent to its stdin .  You may not have the sh terminal installed. Another option: npm i -G pnpm will get you there too and npm ships with Node, which I assume you have on this box. Make sure to run any of the commands as the user who will be using pnpm , not root. -f fail silently-s silent mode-S show errors in silent mode-L will follow redirects by using the 3xx-response 's output to make a new curl request   (/a/78417510) (Short permalink to this answer) Share  Share a link to this answer     Copy link (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) (The current license for this post: CC BY-SA 4.0) CC BY-SA 4.0     Follow (70:3:31e,16:b787299bb2c863c9,10:1744881985,16:2d4641e360bad214,8:78417510,90516bac3f9c3bd093d64d704f7ab2fa868a3b9b5c924506ea3fb3302c0f37fc)  Follow this answer to receive notifications       (/posts/78417510/revisions) (show all edits to this post) edited (2025-04-16 18:04:19Z) 15 hours ago    (/users/3179399/pat-o-mation) (PAT-O-MATION's user avatar)    (/users/3179399/pat-o-mation) PAT-O-MATION (reputation score) 2,016 (1 gold badge)  1  1 gold badge (21 silver badges)  21  21 silver badges (22 bronze badges)  22  22 bronze badges     answered (2024-05-02 07:23:15Z) May 2, 2024 at 7:23   (/users/21799404/steve-walsh) (Steve Walsh's user avatar)    (/users/21799404/steve-walsh) Steve Walsh Steve Walsh (reputation score) 21 (4 bronze badges)  4  4 bronze badges        1   changing sh to bash worked for me on Ubuntu 22 curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | bash -  – (/users/3179399/pat-o-mation) (2,016 reputation) PAT-O-MATION  Commented (2025-04-16 17:57:19Z, License: CC BY-SA 4.0) 15 hours ago        (Use comments to ask for more information or suggest improvements.
