Hi, I'm running garuda linux and when trying to source spack I get these message

share/spack/setup-env.sh (line 262): Unexpected ')' found, expecting '}'
    # In dash, the sourced file is the last one opened (and it's kept open)
                                                                          ^
from sourcing file share/spack/setup-env.sh
	called on line 185 of file /usr/share/fish/config.fish
in function '.' with arguments 'share/spack/setup-env.sh'
source: Error while reading file “share/spack/setup-env.sh”

How can I get around that?

Line 185 points to a fish (friendly interactive shell) configuration
file, but the supported shells mentioned in the comments of that file
share/spack/setup-env.sh are bash, zsh, and dash (sh) so it's not clear
whether your fish shell is supported. You may wish to try one of the
those shells or share/spack/setup-env.csh for {,t}csh
