Amahi Forums

I'm trying to install Amahi ubuntu under Virtualbox in preparation for moving to actual hardware. Following instructions here at http://docs.amahi.org/ubuntu-12.html install goes uneventfully until I get to the wget for the amahi installer. When I run installer, I get:

hec@Geordi:~$ sh install-amahi
install-amahi: 2: install-amahi: Syntax error: newline unexpected

I suspect that the download didn't work as expected. Here's the info from that process:

What did I do wrong?

Could be a corrupt download of the installer. I presume you are manually typing in:
If not, try that as sometimes copy and paste pulls in extra characters. Also before you run the installer, do this to ensure you have connectivity:
Then once it's done, try the installer again.

Yup. I typed in manually. I didn't use copy paste. Also tried your suggestion. Same result. Tried redownload (twice) but still no joy. Now what?

Do you have a good internet connection? Not sure what else you can do. If the install script is corrupt, you may need to pull it on a different machine and copy it across to the VM.

Thanks. Decided to start over with new install from scratch. Everything worked right this time. Thanks for the help.

Good to hear. Sometimes starting over is best.
