I am following the Django Hello World + Fly Deployment tutorial on LearnDjango, but encounter an error when installing Fly with PowerShell. I receive the error below when executing the command:
POWERSHELLiwr : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. At line:1 char:1 I am following the + iwr https://fly.io/install.ps1 -useb | iex + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebExc eption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Invoke-WebRequestCommand
What is the equivalent command to install Fly using Command Prompt (CMD)?

Installing Fly.io in Command Prompt (CMD)
The PowerShell command you're trying to use is encountering a connection error. For Command Prompt (CMD), you'll need to use a different approach since CMD doesn't have the same web request capabilities as PowerShell.
For installing Fly.io using CMD, you have a few options:
Option 1: Download the installer manually
- Open a web browser and go to https://fly.io/install.ps1
- Save the file to your computer
- Run the file using PowerShell (with administrator privileges)
Option 2: Use curl in CMD
If you have curl installed on your Windows system:
CMDcurl -L https://fly.io/install.ps1 -o flyinstall.ps1 powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File flyinstall.ps1
Option 3: Use the Fly.io GitHub repository
You can also download the Fly.io CLI directly from their GitHub releases:
- Visit https://github.com/superfly/flyctl/releases
- Download the appropriate Windows installer (.msi file)
- Run the installer
After installation, you should be able to use the fly command in your terminal to continue with the Django deployment tutorial.
If you continue to have connection issues, it might be related to your network settings or firewall. You could try using a different network connection or temporarily disabling your firewall to see if that resolves the issue.
