Want to try testnets but unsure?

Ah ok. That was in the original document, so I left it in. Will take a note to have that removed.

Can I ask a bit clearer timeline this time? It’s getting late here in Finland.

Ah sorry, I didn’t mean today. Might be Monday now.

Ok, the fact that a release was made ready a few hours ago, instead of letting nightly process do it’s thing, got me excited…

Good to know, thanks!

Whoopee…

So, I installed Gitbash, just clicked “next” through all the installation options. Opened it up and pasted in the curl…line from the comnet post.

This is what happened:

What should I try next? Thanks for any help (this is very exciting!)

Ah - the same mistake I used to make

Skip the initial dollar sign $ - its the linux user prompt - bit like c:\ on windows

I got a little further - i think the software installed, I shut and opened Gitbash, and pasted in the first command that seemed to go ok. Then met with error messages again.

OK

please undelete your first Q - it keeps the thread readable and will help anyone else with similar probs

repeat the command
curl -so https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/master/resources/scripts/install.sh | bash

all on one line

now this:

$ curl -so https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/master/resources/scripts/install.sh | bash
curl: no URL specified!
curl: try ‘curl --help’ or ‘curl --manual’ for more information

Copy that command from the top post again, but skip the initial $ sigm and try again.

it seems to put the $ in by itself and I can’t delete it

Type it out by hand carefully then.

Post a screenshot

$ rm -rf $HOME/.safe

seems to work and doesn’t return an error

but then should i paste in

curl -so https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maidsafe/safe_network/master/resources/scripts/install.sh | bash

or

safe networks add comnet https://sn-comnet.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/node_connection_info.config

The top one: curl...

When you did rm -rf $HOME/.safe you deleted it so you need to install it again.

Do this first.

not or, AND

then
safe networks switch comnet

and just to be certain

safe networks check

should show something like

willie@gagarin:~/.safe$ safe networks check
Checking current setup network connection information...

'comnet' network matched!
Current set network connection information at '/home/willie/.safe/node/node_connection_info.config' matches 'comnet' network as per current config
willie@gagarin:~/.safe$ safe networks
