UCX Installation Error

[deane_h_s]

I'm getting the following error when trying to install UCX on my local machine using the databricks CLI v0.212.1. I've authenticated the CLI with the required workspace using databricks config with the host and PAT generated. I also have admin privileges on the workspace:

 Try to install ucx previous version 0.28.2

databricks labs install ucx@v0.28.2
