My State Tool installation failing on Mac OS X 10.14.6 and Python 3.8

Here is my screen on terminal

What can I do?
Is it necessary to install another Python version in advance?

Hi subjektives! Grüsse aus die Schweiz!

Thanks for the note and welcome to the forum!

Did the process just hang at Determining latest version...? Was there any other message?

No other messages :frowning:

Do you have a firewall rule that preventing the script from accessing the net?

Maybe, I work behind a proxy.
But the authentication is also in .bash_profile

.bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
export http_proxy="[User]:[Password]@[proxy-Adresse]:3128"
export https_proxy=$http_proxy

Perhaps we can just test if the download part of the install script can run on its own? Can you run the following on your command line?

wget -q -O - \
https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/cli-update/update/state/unstable/darwin-amd64.json

It should output something like:

{
    "Version": "0.20.48-SHA22d0888",
    "Sha256v2": "35646bd6460fc0b141c7f97e5b29846526a4794ef41705d8d4eced7c19b06310"
}

No answer :frowning:

Can you reach the URL with your browser?

Maybe wget isn’t seeing your proxy environment variable?

Do you want to try forcing the proxy settings in a ~/.wgetrc file as per https://www.thegeekdiary.com/how-to-use-wget-to-download-file-via-proxy/

Thx, i tried this also. No Success.
Same problem:

==> Determining latest version...

Could you reach the URL with your browser?

11

Also, what error do you get if you the wget command without the -q flag and with the --verbose flag?

https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/cli-update/update/state/unstable/darwin-amd64.json: HTTPS support not compiled in.

Now it’s fine :slight_smile:
After a new installation of wget via homebrew.
Thx!

Oh great! I’ve asked our Product team to think about removing the -q flags for the use of wget (and curl) in the install script. Thanks for letting us know that it worked!
