Hi, All,

I am trying to install Node in a Docker container created from a base Ubuntu image:

root@a721906b527a:/# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy

I am trying to use the following installer:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_23.x -o nodesource_setup.sh

But I get:

root@a721906b527a:/# ./nodesource_setup.sh
