Problems downloading client from Github

Southside · January 31, 2022, 6:34pm

On two machines, one at home and the other an AWS instance I can no longer install the client

When I run
curl -so- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/master/resources/scripts/install.sh | bash
either from the command line or in a script I receive the same error on both machines - both Ubuntu 20.04.3

Works fine on my Kali laptop and on another fresh AWS 20.04 instance.
All the permissions look fine and have not been touched from default - certainly on the AWS instance. I first noticed this yesterday on my home box and now see the same on one of the AWS instances.

Anybody seen anything similar or got hints on exactly what permissions to check?

On AWS ls -al /tmp shows
drwxrwxrwt 14 root root 4096 Jan 31 18:10 .

On my home box
drwxrwxrwt 27 root root 20480 Jan 31 18:12 .

Most frustrating as my script is now ready to run on a fresh AWS instance or other machine and will download client and node, connect to a (hardwired as yet) comnet and then install rust, vdash and monitor the node.

I vaguely recollect seeing something similar before, but I was busy messing with my router at the time, so I thought I’d done something wrong myself.

Did it go away when you tried again?

I seem to vaguely remember seeing this before once. IIRC I put it down to a corrupted download, tried again and it was fine. However this problem is consistent on both machines now.

It went away, and I’ve had no problems like that since.

I’m expecting my new router to arrive tomorrow or the day after.

EDIT to above In both cases the temporary directory inside /tmp is created but is empty and has the expected permissions

Now that I think about it, I may have entered the wrong address for the curl command when I saw the error.

/safe_network/main/
vs.
/safe_network/master/

Scripts don’t confuse “main” and “master”. That’s “human, all too human”. Just saying…

Bump

Still getting this error when I run curl -so- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/master/resources/scripts/install.sh | bash

Is anyone else seeing this?

If I change line 136 of safe_network/install.sh at main · maidsafe/safe_network · GitHub

to
tmp_dir=$HOME/tmp # tmp_dir=$(mktemp -d)

then it installs OK. $HOME/tmp has to exist first. I tried mkdir$HOME/tmp && tmp_dir=$HOME/tmp and it failed but its late…
Some weirdness around mktemp I am not understanding…

I filled issue install.sh fails to save Safe CLI package to tmp dir · Issue #994 · maidsafe/safe_network · GitHub and will think about it again in the morning

@Forester reported exactly the same problem when I was helping him last night off-channel
