Yesterday I remember I was trying to install the toolkit, but found a different error.

I followed the steps here [Getting flyctl: command not found error post install - #8 by tooongs](https://community.fly.io/t/getting-flyctl-command-not-found-error-post-install/4954/8)

However, nothing resolved and I tried to re-install the tool from scratch today. The error I get now is the one posted on the original post.
