[SOLVED] Installation of rustup: curl does not resolve host

Hello,
I made a virtual machine with a very minimal installation of Archlinux. I installed only the lxde desktop environment and lxterminal. Now I want to install the development environment for Rust, so I follow this guide and give the command

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

but I always get an error 6 from curl "Could not resolve the host sh.rustup.rs"

My internet connection works fine, I can ping google and other web sites, and curl also retrieve correctly the html pages.
The difference here is that that url refers to a file that must be downloaded and piped to sh....
I also nlsookup-ed the url and everything seems ok.
Any suggestion? Is it possible that my so minimal installation is missing some network functionalities?
Thank you

Don't pipe curl to sh, that ls unwise. Follow the instructiions on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rust#Installation

Thank you for the answer. I tried to follow the wiki instructions, but the problem is always the same:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs -o rust.sh
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: sh.rustup.rs

Re: [SOLVED] Installation of rustup: curl does not resolve host

I solved the problem by myself. Looks like adding the rows

nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad

to my /etc/resolv.conf file fixed the issue
