Poetry installation with Windows WSL not working, ignoring $HOME

I have a WSL instance, Ubuntu 20.04 and I have created another Ubuntu 18.04 WSL instance.

I installed Poetry on the 20.04 without issues.

I am trying to install Poetry on the Ubuntu 18.04 instance, using the curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python3 - command.

At the moment, my $HOME env var points to /home/fromzeroedu.

However, after installation, Poetry is installed on my Windows user home:

$ which poetry/mnt/c/Users/j/.poetry/bin/poetry

And if I try getting the version, I get:

$ poetry --version/usr/bin/env: ‘python\r’: Permission denied

I even tried setting the POETRY_HOME prior to installation:

export POETRY_HOME=/home/fromzeroedu/.poetry/bin/poetry

But Poetry still installs in the Windows user directory.

Sometimes I love Poetry...
