Hello,

I'm trying to install a perl package on a linux RH70 environment and unfortunately I have a bash error. Here is a copy of my screen:

curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/pdli01/install.sh | bash -s activate-default iFaugeras/Perl-5.32

Could you help me to understand what’s wrong ?

Thank you,

Hi Isabelle, I’ve asked a member of the CLI team to check in on this and will get back to you once I hear from them. I noticed that your install command

  • curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/pdli01/install.sh | bash -s activate-default iFaugeras/Perl-5.32

Is not the same as the install command we normally present to users

  • sh <(curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/pdli01/install.sh) --activate-default iFaugeras/Perl-5.32

Have you tried running the second, usual command?

Yes, I also tried, but I got the following error:
Missing name for redirect.

I used syntax with | bash…. because it should be an equivalent syntax to give arguments to the script.

Hi there,

Could you share the full output of the command (including all errors) when you run the sh one-liner? (the one @flukeout gave)

Also, could you share with us the version of your sh, by running sh --version?

Thank you

Here are the answers to your question:

I’m afraid of not having any other message.

Hi,

Is there any news on this topic ?

Hi Isabelle, could you try running the following command (unchanged)?

bash -c "sh <(curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/pdli01/install-latest.sh) --activate-default iFaugeras/Perl-5.32"

If this still results in an error, please run this command and share the full output:

bash -c "VERBOSE=true sh <(curl -q https://platform.activestate.com/dl/cli/pdli01/install-latest.sh) --activate-default iFaugeras/Perl-5.32"
