Standalone fog server on a laptop umbutu 18.04

@Sebastian-Roth @Wayne-Workman So do I install the latest fog install and then after that run the install.sh file? I’m getting a Syntax error: newline unexpected.

Thanks

@fredlwal I’m guessing the problem is that install.sh has no shebang line, so the system messes up.

Just a guess, though.

sudo bash install.sh

might work?

@Quazz et al.

Where is this install.sh file coming from? We have installfog.sh which has the #! code already.

@Quazz I think when there is not a shebang, the linux terminal interprets it as a bash script. I looked back in the commit history, there has never been a shebang in that script… it’s worked several times. At any rate, I’m going to add it.

[Quazz]

@Wayne-Workman Theoretically it will use the current shell to try and execute it, yes.

But unexpected newline is typical of a wrong interpretator in my experience.

So I downloaded the updated install.sh and here is what I get.

@fredlwal How did you download that script file? See the error means you downloaded a HTML file. Maybe this link will help you: https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-community-scripts/raw/master/MakeFogMobile/install.sh and https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-community-scripts/raw/master/MakeFogMobile/MainScript.sh

@Wayne-Workman while most distros tend to default the shell to /bin/bash, Ubuntu and Debian default to /bin/ash which is not the same as bash.

@Sebastian-Roth I just right clicked and did a save as link all files with the .sh ext.

[Wayne Workman]

I put in a shebang. It should work now, please re-download the install file.
