Iam a novise who is trying to learn about this stuff, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can‘t install Pi-hole on a Mac, macOS is not supported.

See here

Sorry, to clarify, I am using my Mac terminal window and accessing my ASUS RT-AC89U router on which I have a USB drive with a 1GB Ext2 partition. That is where the problem is arising, when I run this command there this is the error I am getting. Thank you. Apologies for the lack of information.

So your plan is to install Pi-hole on your router?

Yes Sir, that is what I am trying to do. I am running that command line like so :-1:

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 384.3-0 Tue Feb 13 21:10:35 UTC 2018
admin@RT-AC86U-48D8:/tmp/home/root# curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
bash: syntax error: unexpected "("
curl: (23) Failed writing body (758 != 2759)
admin@RT-AC86U-48D8:/tmp/home/root# bash: syntax error: unexpected "("
-sh: bash:: not found

See the hardware and software requirements. Pi-hole is not made to work on routers.
