Hi @dota17! What operating system are you running? Additionally, what are the file permissions for util/scripts/install/install.sh? Can you run that file by itself with using make install?

[dota17]

Sorry, I forgot to give some detail information about my PC.

os: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
make: GNU Make 4.1 Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

well, at first, it tells me that:

so, I changed its permission to 777, then it tells me:

make: ./util/scripts/install/install.sh: Command not found
Makefile:51: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 127

and when I run install.sh manually, it tells me:

bash: ./install.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

That's all.
Thank you @ccarterlandis

Thanks for providing that information @dota17. Good news is that we officially support Ubuntu 18.04 and that the file permissions should be fine.

The "bad interpreter" error makes me think that the ^M after the shebang is the problem. However, I don't see that on my version of master. What does the first line of util/scripts/install/install.sh look like? If it has that ^M, delete it so that it reads #!/bin/bash and then run it again and see if that changes the output.

[dota17]

Thank you very much!
The ^M comes from the windows, casue I use Git for Windows Desktop to clone this lib.

PS: I have tried to download .zip package directly instead of cloning it, but there are some problems to unzip it.

 Unexpected end of archive

[ccarterlandis]

Ah, that would explain things. We do not officially support local Windows installation at this time, so I'm not surprised that there are line endings causing problems like an erroneous ^M.

We have a very rough prototype windows installation guide written by another member of our community in issue #403, but beyond that my best recommendation is cloning it directly on a UNIX system, perhaps in an Ubuntu virtual machine. That should hopefully fix some of the line ending issues.

Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope we can work something out! Let me know if you have any other questions.

@dota17 Are you using an Ubuntu Subsystem for Windows along with a Windows installation? Or an Ubuntu VM with a shared filesystem? If it isn't either you can disregard my message, but this is some experience of mine.

On both of these types of systems, I've had a similar issue and it was fixed by creating a virtual environment with the tool `virtualenv' instead of python's built-in with the flags provided.

virtualenv -p python3 envname

The other important part for fixing my similar issue was to clone the repo directly with git on ubuntu. I can put augur into my windows filesystem, but I must use the ubuntu side to gather and instantiate the files. (it's probably for permissions)

[dota17]

Thank you for your quick reply and advice!

Well, For some reason, I can't clone source package directly on Ubuntu at that time. So my original intent was to clone it on Windows, then compress it and upload it to Ubuntu. For now, I will no longer try to install it on Windows, I will use the Ubuntu 18.04 inside the DOCKER.

And now, the installation process run soomthly!

The only problem is that it takes too much time and need to do a lot of interactive options.
