I think this means user z doesn't have write permission for /usr/local/bin/ so we can't install it.

You could:

Use sudo bash … instead of bash …. Review the commands of the install snippet to decide whether you 're comfortable with this (all it should do is download a file and place it there. It will not run any other commands as root, and fresh-node itself will still not run as root, all okay!).
Or, check which user groups own /usr/local/bin/ and make sure your user is in a group that is permitted to install shell programs.
Or, run sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/ once, after which any user account will be allowed to install shell scripts in this directory. This is how macOS is usually configured. Of course, only do this if you don't have other users on this machine, and/or if you're okay with other users being able to install scripts that affect user z.

sudo worked fine, thanks!

During a pairing with @zeljkofilipin , @dcausse has been hit by /usr/local/bin not being writable. We went to use sudo python3 which is not ideal. We can write to $HOME/.local/bin instead :]
