sudo apt-get install zip
sudo apt-get update

If you're using another version of Linux, you can find it here.

Then you can run the command

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-CLI/SpotX-Linux/main/install.sh)

It's work for me.

sudo pacman -S zip

@9090H9091, as @ZakeyJack said: the solution is to install "zip" in the terminal from your package manager.

Issue needs closing, has been irrelevant for months: perhaps a rephrasing in the error catch message, would help people from being mistaken.
