Describe your use-case which is not covered by existing documentation.

Keeping in mind #6633 suggests for a 'curl' to 'wget' change,
I suggest to add 'curl' as a prerequisite for installation in linux as It doesn't come pre-installed with linux & user has to manually install it using sudo snap install curl for the latest version.

Reference any relevant documentation, other materials or issues/pull requests that can be used for inspiration.

Should I create a pr for the same?

Snap is very much an Ubuntu thing, it won't work on other distros. You'd want to use apt for debian based.

It's not a prerequisite of Jenkins. It might be worth noting that the documentation assumes it is installed. You could even bring up that you could use wget -O - instead of curl in that screenshot.

We can update it with sudo apt install curl as mentioned by @gounthar here
