I'm trying to download node using curl:
$> curl https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v6.6.0.tar.xz | tar xz -C /opt
Now, on my Mac this works. However, in CentOs, this doesn't work:
$> curl https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v6.6.0.tar.xz | tar xz -C /opt
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

curl: (23) Failed writing body (246 != 1369)
I don't understand what exactly is going one here.
If I split the command and do
$> curl https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v6.6.0.tar.xz > node.tgz
$> tar -xvf node.tgz // NOTE that I omitted the `z`
it works. Based on this, maybe curl unzipped the file already I tried
$> curl https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v6.6.0.tar.xz | tar x -C /opt

Nope :( Any help would be appreciated?
When you use the option "-z" in tar application is waiting .gz (gunzip) format.
You should use the option "J":
curl https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v6.6.0.tar.xz | tar xJ -C /tmp
