Describe the bug

Hi i am new to foundry i tried installing it via the curl -L method it didn't work i tried to build it from source and kept getting this error

Compiling foundry-common-fmt v1.0.0 (/home/lawrence/foundry/crates/common/fmt)

looks like your request timed out, although the url is reachable.

mind trying again?

this is basically a server error and should go away by retrying cargo install

[lawrenceuchenye]

Ok would retry again as it is a request issue

I am pretty sure it's the same reason you weren't able to install foundryup from curl, can you pls provide the failure reason for that? Wonder if you're behind a proxy / firewall that could break fetching these files

Wonder if you're behind a proxy / firewall that could break fetching these files

Perhaps your network is blocking Github, both foundryup and https://binaries.soliditylang.org/linux-amd64/list.json use it

[lawrenceuchenye]

maybe it is due to using wsl but still don't get why it isn't working @zerosnacks i can do a git pull but this doesn't work

[zerosnacks]

Are you able to curl https://binaries.soliditylang.org/linux-amd64/list.json?

If not this is related to your network settings / firewall / proxy / vpn

[lawrenceuchenye]

@zerosnacks your right i tired a vpn it worked also i want to note that not all vpns works the one that worked for me is protonvpn,thanks everyone that replied i am going to close this now.
