Install script curl'ed from github:

Question

I have the following script hosted on Github: https://rawgit.com/oresoftware/quicklock/master/install.sh

the contents of that file are:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e;
cd "$HOME"
mkdir -p "$HOME/.quicklock/locks"
curl https://rawgit.com/oresoftware/quicklock/master/install.sh > "$HOME/.quicklock/ql.sh"

echo "To complete installation of 'quicklock' add the following line to your .bash_profile file:";
echo ". \"$HOME/.quicklock/ql.sh\"";

I download and run this script with:

curl -o- https://rawgit.com/oresoftware/quicklock/master/install.sh | bash

but I get this error:

bash: line 1: Moved: command not found

That error is killing me, I cannot figure out what is causing it. I tried curl with both the -o- option and without.

Answer 1

The url for raw git has changed, the error itsel is from curl.

Change rawgit.com to raw.githubusercontent.com.

Another option is to add -L to have curl follow the redirect link.

I figured this out by changing bash to bash -x. Here is the output:

curl -o- https://rawgit.com/oresoftware/quicklock/master/install.sh | bash -x
