Additional Information

extent analysis

TL;DR

The installation script is failing to retrieve the checksum for the Linux x64 platform, resulting in an empty checksum variable.

Guidance

The issue seems to be related to the jq command not returning the expected output for the Linux x64 platform.
Verify that the manifest.json file is correctly formatted and contains the expected data for the Linux x64 platform.
Check the install.sh script to ensure that the jq command is correctly parsing the manifest.json file.
Consider adding error handling to the install.sh script to handle cases where the jq command returns an empty value.

Example

checksum=$(jq -r '.platforms["linux-x64"].checksum' manifest.json)
if [ -z "$checksum" ]; then
  echo "Error: unable to retrieve checksum for Linux x64 platform"
  exit 1
fi

Notes

The provided logs indicate that the jq command is returning an empty value for the Linux x64 platform, but the manifest.json file appears to contain the expected data. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the install.sh script to handle cases where the jq command returns an empty value, as shown in the example above.
