Current Behavior

When I run git clone https://github.com/pyrohost/pyrodactyl.git /var/www/pterodactyl --depth=2 it's returning an error shown below

fatal: destination path '/var/www/pterodactyl' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Expected Behavior

download the git repo

Solution

create release on latest stable version of pyrodactyl in tar.gz and use the curl command shown in the documentation with a small change

curl -L https://github.com/pyrohost/pyrodactyl/releases/latest/download/panel.tar.gz | tar -xzv

I think that's all

Steps to Reproduce

https://github.com/pyrohost/pyrodactyl/wiki/Installation#non-docker

do the first command on an existing pterodactyl panel server

Panel Version

1.11

Wings Version

1.11

Games and/or Eggs Affected

No response

Docker Image

No response

Error Logs

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues before opening this issue.
I have provided all relevant details, including the specific game and Docker images I am using if this issue is related to running a server.
I have checked in the Discord server and believe this is a bug with the software, and not a configuration issue with my specific system.
