This means that you have downloaded an old version from a mirror which
was not fully in sync. In my computer it says:

$ ./install-tl --version
install-tl (TeX Live Cross Platform Installer) revision 62745
TeX Live (https://tug.org/texlive) version 2022

So it should work fine if you download the latest installer.
