Elan error fetching from github

Stream: new members

Hi, I'm trying to run elan and I'm getting this error

1) Proceed with installation (default)
2) Customize installation
3) Cancel installation

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Error { description: "Couldn\'t resolve host name", code: 6, extra: Some("Could not resolve host: github.com") }', src/elan-utils/src/utils.rs:548:32

As shown, the code is failing to resolve github.com but I can definitely access it, both in cURL and in my web browser. Anyone seen an issue like this?

if relevant, I'm on Arch and I already had rustup/cargo installed

@Sebastian Ullrich any ideas?

[Sebastian Ullrich]

Not really, I'm afraid

@Rei Can you download the elan installation script, and just manually run the part until it wants do download something from github. Download manually, and then run the rest of the script?

Could be related to IPv4/v6 or general DNS settings https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/924

I added 8.8.8.8 to my /etc/resolv and it worked! Thanks!
