Thanks for your report.

Indeed it looks like the recommendation to use “sbcl --script …” is
incorrect, since SBCL terminates after loading the file, without giving
access to a REPL from which you could do the installation.

You should follow the other installation option given in the same
README file, which is to use (load #p"/usr/share/common-
lisp/source/quicklisp/quicklisp.lisp") in the REPL before running
(quicklisp-quickstart:install).

Best regards,
