Attempting to install v.1.2.1 from the "Install Porter" document fails

[dgannon991]

Describe the bug

The install steps in the website's documentation fail.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://porter.sh/docs/getting-started/install-porter/
2. Observe the install command is still

export VERSION="v1.1.0"
curl -L https://cdn.porter.sh/$VERSION/install-linux.sh | bash

3. If you attempt to change this to VERSION="v.1.2.1" then the script errors with the response bash: line 1: Not: command not found`

Expected behavior

Porter should be installed a version 1.2.1

Version

N/A

@dgannon991 It works for me without problems. I can see in the description that the version number is incorrect, it is v.1.2.1 instead of v1.2.1. Is that what you used or just a mistake in the bug report?

[dgannon991]

More embarrassing than that actually, looking back at my command history it was a typo in the bug report, but the initial cause was me misunderstanding bash variable expansion.

Because I can do VARIABLE=value ./script-that-uses-varaible.sh I was under the impression I could change that command to a single liner of VERSION=v1.2.1 curl -L https://cdn.porter.sh/$VERSION/install-linux.sh | bash, but that is not valid!

So I've learnt something, and feel very silly at the same time.

Sorry guys!
