I’ve seen 4 other users with the same bug when following the quick start tutorial:
curl: (1) Protocol “http” not supported or disabled in libcurl
dfinity-sdk: command failed: downloader [https://sdk.dfinity.org/downloads/dfx//x86\_64-linux/dfx-.tar.gz](https://sdk.dfinity.org/downloads/dfx//x86_64-linux/dfx-.tar.gz) /tmp/tmp.1hcUqC8IJn/dfx.tar.gz

We’re sorry for the disruption - we have identified the source of the issue as a misconfigured redirect and will resolve it as soon as we can track down where the configuration lives

I figured I would just leave this here. But the “[Preliminary steps for newcomers :: Internet Computer](https://smartcontracts.org/docs/quickstart/newcomers.html)” docs are confusing. Because it says run “export PATH={path-to-directory-for-dfx}” but in reality that messes up your path. What I did that worked was “PATH=$PATH:{path-to-directory-for-dfx}”
