Unfortunately, using WSL didn't work either. I got
```
bash: curl: command not found
base64: unrecognized option: decode
BusyBox v1.29.3 (2019-01-24 07:45:07 UTC) multi-call binary.
Usage: base64 [-d] [FILE]
Base64 encode or decode FILE to standard output
-d Decode data
❌
```
when I tried to download it there.
A bunch of research later, and I found
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-docker/issues/462 which isn't directly
related but suggested that I try `//bin/sh` as the command instead of
`/bin/sh` and indeed, switching to that worked, so I got fresh working.
A summary for future reference - using fresh on windows with git bash:
* in the original download command, replace `/usr/local/bin` with `/usr/bin`
* after you download it, modify the file to remove the `--tty` argument to
the docker command, and to change the entry point from `/bin/sh` to
`//bin/sh`
Thanks for the help.
