syft: Curl: Could not resolve host: latest

What happened:

  1. Executing installation via curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/main/install.sh latest

  2. Executed installation via curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/main/install.sh | sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin latest

What you expected to happen: Installation of the syft binary to build out.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Ran the above commands in #1. Anything else we need to know?:

Environment:

  • Output of syft version:
  • OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release or similar): Host OS: Linux 5.11.0-41-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 5 11:37:01 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I fixed the issue by:

  1. conducted a quick update.
  2. removing curl.
  3. Installing curl version 7.74.0
  4. running the curl line as sudo
  5. Moved syft from /bin/ to /usr/bin/

This is my output for

Thanks for looking into this. Not sure why it is not reproducible at your end.

I’ve tried that command again:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anchore/syft/main/install.sh | sh -s anchore/syft info checking GitHub for latest tag anchore/syft crit unable to find ‘’ - use ‘latest’ or see https://github.com/anchore/syft/releases for details

I also updated my git repo with the latest change to install.sh

~/git/syft (main=) $ git pull remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), 4.55 KiB | 2.28 MiB/s, done. From https://github.com/anchore/syft ecbfbe6…3d8c166 main -> origin/main Updating ecbfbe6…3d8c166 Fast-forward install.sh | 8 ++++±– 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

… but I still get the same results:

~/git/syft (main=) $ ./install.sh anchore/syft info checking GitHub for latest tag anchore/syft crit unable to find ‘’ - use ‘latest’ or see https://github.com/anchore/syft/releases for details
