installJRMC may create some staging directories and temporary files depending on what options you use, so running it from its own directory is the most tidy solution. With the default settings it will use your OS package manager (apt) to install MC. I have not tested on PopOS, if you run into issues enable debugging (--debug) and post the output here so I can add any necessary workarounds.

Did it continue to run fine after that point? You don't have subuid or subgid namespaces defined in /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid for the ubuntu user in order to launch the containerized package manager. Typically those entries are added during user creation in most modern distros, so perhaps this machine has been updated from an older ubuntu version that did not support namespaces? Regardless, it's just a method for determining the latest MC version, it looks like the script proceeded correctly and fell back to the webscrape method so everything should have been fine after that.

no it just stopped. It is a completely new download of Desktop 22.04 LTS not an updated OS disk
