Cannot install earthadata download - please provide script recipe for downloading batch

I cannot install earthdata download on to my computer. There are no other batch options listed to download more than 4000 files from my Harmony web-interface request. Do I need to generate a unix-based script myself or is there one posted? I performed multiple searches and couldnt find any. GDAL and a bash request using the provided STAC links did not easily work, but I am unfamiliar with STAC as a starting poiont.

"There are no other batch options listed to download more than 4000 files from my Harmony web-interface request."
- Can you submit multiple requests for data? Restrictions like this are put into place to improve performance on databases to handle multiple user requests.

Have you tried earthaccess, which shows you how to access your data using python?
