Resolved issues installing on Debian 13 - ld-jelly - 2025-09-23

Multiple issues found using the recommend install method for V10.10.7:
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

all resolved:

1.
-bash: sudo: command not found
sudo not installed by default
fix: install sudo and add yourself to the sudo group

2.
curl: (23) Failure writing output to destination, passed 10841 returned 0
It appears the default version of curl doesn't like piping, or exits too soon
fix: I just downloaded the install script, did a chmod +x on it and, as my regular user, ran it with sudo
