Description
I try to install cli with this but I get this error. I didn't find another way to install it.
bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oracle/oci-cli/master/scripts/install/install.sh)"
Can you reduce the name ? Or a temporary fix?
We are stuck now, we cannot use anything from our side

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installation command from scripts/install/install.sh and inspect the generated path under oci_cli/help_text_producer/data_files/man. Determine why the database-management manpage filename exceeds the filesystem limit, then verify that installation completes without the reported Errno 36 error.
