Problem with Amahi-Ubuntu Install in Virtualbox

[hec1152]

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?

[bigfoot65]

Could be a corrupt download of the installer. I presume you are manually typing in:

Code: Select all

sh install-amahi

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:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Then once it's done, try the installer again.

[hec1152]

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?

[bigfoot65]

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.

[hec1152]

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

[bigfoot65]

Good to hear. Sometimes starting over is best.
