Curl to bash install fails without root if not using Python 3.6 or 3.7 #424
Description
Hi there,
Curl to bash install does not appear to be tested without root. Presence of F-strings necessitates Python >=3.6. However, platform.linux_distribution on which the installer depends is deprecated in Python 3.8, meaning that only 3.6 and 3.7 are supported, causing the installer to crash.
I managed to install the client trivially in the end by creating a Python 3.7 env and pip installing the PyPI package. I used conda but any equivalent approach should work fine. The installer appears broken without root, and perhaps this workaround could be documented.
conda create -n oci python=3.7
conda activate oci
pip install oci-cli
oci setup config
Ubuntu 20.04.2, Python 3.8.5
