Issue with curl

I got the `curl --no-progress-meter is unknown `error when I tried to run the script. 
curl --help didn't display anything for the --no-progress-bar option

I was able to install the file after removing the --no-progress-meter option from the below line in the script.
`curl -LO --no-progress-meter $DOWNLOAD`

I am not sure if it's anything to do with the curl versions
