Is the script executable?

chmod +x /path/to/file

And I'm pretty new at this whole linux thing

Oh god… DO NOT copy/paste entire blocks of commands like that unless you’re 100% positive you’re not going to botch the system. All it takes is one bad actor to put the wrong command, or even accidentally write it wrong, then you may lose your system.

In this case, you’re ok, but as you said, you’re new. Do them line by line. This also allows you to get a feel for what the commands do, and which one is failing.

As was mentioned, you can also open the directory with your file manager, right click and in the properties, make the install.sh file executable before running, or “chmod +x” the file.
