Hello @cartheur, Could you please provide the correct order of steps to reproduce the above error. Thanks!

[cartheur]

@sgowroji It is simply a curl command to download and install for linux x86_64. When running the shell script, even with just curl -fsSLk https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/5.3.0/bazel-5.3.0-installer-linux-x86_64.sh gives the error .../bazel-5.3.0-installer-linux-x86_64.sh: 5: Syntax error: word unexpected.
