Description

Problem

I am trying to install rust on another usb device using rustup. I used CARGO_HOME and RUSTUP_HOME env variables to setup rustup path to be on the specific usb drive, when I install rustup it did not install and showed this error I used sudo before sh and it installed, but it didnt install any of the tool chains, so I found ansnwer to stack overflow that advised to type in the terminal "rustup install stable" So I did and it showed this error again, I tried again with sudo still showing this error

Steps

install rust with rustup on a differnet usb drive or maybe even path

add environment variables RUSTUP_HOME and CARGO_HOME to the path your installing to

run curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sudo sh

then when installed change the option of changing the path variable to no
once installed add rustup to path
then use rustup install stable to install rust

No project files or tests are named. Start by reproducing rustup install stable with RUSTUP_HOME and CARGO_HOME on the USB path, using the reported rustup 1.26.0 environment, and compare behavior with and without sudo. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or testing a fix for creating the rust-analyzer link.
