When running: "curl -sL https://appwrite.io/cli/install.sh | bash"
I get an error when running appwrite -v:

Summary

Appwrite CLI on Linux was not working initially due to permission errors. The solution was to use `sudo npm install -g appwrite-cli` instead of `npm install -g appwrite-cli`. There were also some issues reported with different versions of Node. Some users mentioned that the CLI worked fine when installed globally through npm and executed with npx. In one case, updating to Node version 16.20.2 did not resolve the error, but it was later discovered that the Ubuntu server was running on Node version 12.22.9. Updating the Node version resolved the issue. Another user suggested that the

It works fine when installing version 2.0.2, by creating the script locally and replacing 4.0.0 with 2.0.2

FYI, it's best to wrap code in backticks to format a bit nicer. You can use 1 backtick for inline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#code) and 3 backticks for multiline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting.

something might be weird with your docker version...i would only expect this error on older versiosn of node

It seems to work fine when installing globally through npm and executing with npx. Guess i can just do that instead.

Node: v19.9.0
