Also note OP intends to source the code (run it in the current shell context), not execute it as a script (which happens in a subshell).

But without additional information about the specific error/failure it will be difficult to answer the question.

Have you got an error from curl ? If you downloaded the script as described above, make it executable using `chmode +x FILENAME` and copy it somewhere in your PATH `sudo mv FILENAME /usr/local/bin` then you can run it in terminal. Or whatelse you mean ???
