That is really strange, it worked perfectly fine for me (just tested on Ubuntu 22.04). I'm wondering if you're missing a system command somewhere. Can you please confirm you have jq installed (sudo apt install jq)?

Yes, jq was installed, however, I just tried again and it installed successfully. Not sure what was going on but everything seems fine now. Thanks for your help.

Very odd! Sorry, I haven't a clue what it could have been then. Glad to hear it's working anyway 👌
