Curl command dependency

while trying to run the install.sh it asks for a dependency of curl command, in my remote machine I dont have the access to install the curl command is there a wayaround

Can you ask the sysadmin to install it? Out of curiosity, what is the output of the command
cat /etc/*release?

I modifies the install.sh and removed that block of code which is asking for “curl” the install process was started untill I encountered could not get databse error

after trying again I am getting the following error
Please ensure cryosparc_master/config.sh and cryoparc_worker/config.sh have the same CRYOSPARC_LICENSE_ID entry
or CRYOSPARC_LICENSE_ID is set correctly in the current environment.

Doing so may leave the installed software in a state that is undefined and hard to support.
Please let us know when you have installed the software with an unmodified cryosparc_master/install.sh script.

curl is used to download libraries in the installation process as I understand. By removing it, many necessary libraries was not installed.

If you don’t have sudo permission, you can install curl to a non /usr/bin path by " ./configure --prefix=/any/path/you/want". Then add that to you own bin path or make it a lmod module. That’s how I work around it before.
