Determining the cause of the error:
The size of the binary connectd_2.5.37_amd64.deb reveals there is a problem with it, and actually it only contains Not found. That is correct because the file connectd_2.5.37_amd64.deb is missing in connectd v.2.5.37 release.

Workaround:

1. Edit file auto-install.sh, find 2.5.37 and replace it with 2.5.36 for instance, you could do it like this in your terminal:
   sed -i 's/2.5.37/2.5.36/' auto-install.sh
2. Run again installer script: sudo ./auto-install.sh
3. Continue with: sudo connectd_installer
