Duke University's: RUST Fundamentals on Coursera

I recently started Duke University's Rust Fundamentals course on Coursera.  The course lasts 4 weeks and covers several topics. It is taught by Noah Gift who has several classes on the Coursera that I am interested in taking over the next year. The classes that I am particularly interested in are those related to Python, Rust, and Linux . Yesterday, I encountered problems installing Rust on Linux (Ubuntu).  The problems were related to the following code:      curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh As I needed to install curl, I ran the following command:      sudo snap install curl This led to several errors. After much searching on the internet, I discovered that I needed to stall curl without using snap. Instead, I installed curl using:     sudo apt install curl. After this, I was successfully able to install Rust.
