Description
I have encountered a problem where the curl command for downloading the panel update would fail, even with sudo. I then tested this on multiple machines and it turns out i always had to be root first, by using sudo su.
Some people not that familiar with Linux may not get the idea of using sudo su, so i suggest adding a note or disclaimer to the panel update docs.

Find the panel update documentation containing the curl command, then review the surrounding instructions for the required root context. Add a clear note explaining that users may need to become root with sudo su before running the update command, and confirm the rendered documentation presents the warning where it is needed.
