Issue

I am trying to run the following command:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

but getting:

Illegal variable name.

How to fix it?

Solution

First never run script downloaded like that. You never know what it is going to execute on your system.

First download the script with:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh
Then run the script with ksh or bash:
bash install.sh

I checked this install script code and it is not passing shellcheck.net static analysis. So its authors have more homework to do.
