zesarux.sh Won't Run

[MDB00]

Running zesarus.sh in a terminal window under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS gives the following error:

zesarux.sh: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token newline' zesarux.sh: line 7: '

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Sorry, it was a 2-line error message, the second is...

zesarux.sh: line 7: `'

Thanks for reporting this error. I'm unable to find the error in the file. Can you redownload the script and try again. If it fails to run this time, post back here and let me know how you tried to run the script.

Thanks for looking into this for me. I deleted zesarux.sh and downloaded it again and I got the same results. Here is the terminal dialogue so you can see what I did. With the exception of the 'dir' command, which I did so you can see that this is a new download and you can also check that the filename is as expected, this seems to be the simple sequence of commands shown in github. When I preview this message, parts of the dialogue appear to be crossed out so I'm also attaching a .text file containing the terminal dialogue.

Hello Again. I'm making progress - for reasons I'm not at all sure about, it appears that I was downloading the html of the web page instead of the bash script. I now have the bash script and I'm trying the same as before. Still not working but now with a totally different error as shown below. Given the error message about the lack of the home/mike/src/zesarux directory, I've looked and I see that the script had created the home/mike/src directory, but no sub-directories. Again, any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

Installing ZEsarUX. This could take between a few moments and a long time or even a very long time. Go get a coffee.
zesarux.sh: line 254: git: command not found

ZEsarUX installation failed.

Sorry, I was a bit premature in sending off that previous message. I installed git and the installation worked. Still trying to work my way around it, though, and I haven't yet found any user documentation (although, TBH, I've not looked too hard). So far, I've discovered that I can run it from the command line and I'm able to execute Forth instruction in the Jupiter Ace, which is what I'm interested in. However, I see in the files that were downloaded during the installation, that there an image of a Jupiter Ace keyboard so I assume that zesarux must be capable of presenting a more visual representation of the Jupiter Ace, although I've not found that yet. I have also noticed that zesarux appears as in installed application (but with the cog wheel icon as opposed to a zesarux-specific one), but nothing happens if I try to execute that. I'll keep on digging, but I might have to raise another issue, depending on how I get on finding some user documentation.

I can't believe I forgot to include git in the list of essential software for the script to install. I could kick myself.

I've just noticed that the developer of Zesarux (Cesar) has moved the icon file. I've edited the installer script so it should install the icon correctly now.

There is documentation for Zesarux here https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux-extras/tree/master/extras/docs. There is a section for the JupiterAce in those docs. The root repository for Zesarux is here https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux/

I will test the script in a clean Kubuntu install today.
