I can't install zvm on Fedora 39 aarch64 (Asahi Linux)

I'm using Fedora 39 aarch64, but I can't install zvm.

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristanisham/zvm/master/install.sh | bash

Installing zvm-linux-aarch64.tar in /home/kebo/zvm
wget is installed. Using wget...
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Run the following commands to put ZVM on your path via /home/kebo/.profile

echo "# ZVM" >> $HOME/.profile
echo 'export ZVM_INSTALL="$HOME/.zvm/self"' >> $HOME/.profile
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.zvm/bin"' >> $HOME/.profile
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$ZVM_INSTALL/"' >> $HOME/.profile
Run 'source ~/.profile' to start using ZVM in this shell!

It seems that install.sh tried to download zvm-linux-aarch64.tar, not zvm-linux-arm64.tar.

Thanks for reporting! The script pulls its information from the operating system. In your comment you say you’re using Fedora 39 aarch64. I’m not super familiar with Asahi Linux and whatever, for lack of a better word, hacks it uses to get Fedora working on Apple Silicon. Could you clarify what OS you’re using? In the meantime, the instructions in the README should be sufficient to set up a new install.

I'm using Fedora Asahi Remix, but AFAIK, this is the issue that occurs on all aarch64 Linux, regardless of the ditro. For instance, it also occurs on Ubuntu aarch64.

I found a cause. zvm seems to retrieve a host architecture here. However, in Linux, there is aarch64 but no arm64 in uname -m.

So I think you should rename zvm-linux-arm64.tar to zvm-linux-aarch64.tar on a release note, or add a rename logic like this.
