Syntax error near unexpected token `newline' while installing Predictionio

command-line bash scripts

Solution 1

Well, the file that you're putting between the quotes, to execute as a bash command, is a 15917 byte bash script (written by Somebody Else, and you're running it without inspection, but that's off topic). If you split it up into simpler commands, you could:

curl -s https://install.prediction.io/install.sh >install.sh
# inspect install.sh here
bash ./install.sh
# if it fails, do bash -x ./install.sh
rm ./install.sh

Solution 2

Correct syntax would be:

curl -sSL https://install.prediction.io/install.sh | sh

wget -qO- https://install.prediction.io/install.sh | sh

I'm new to Prediction.io and when I try to install it following the instruction at this page I get the following error:
```
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' 
bash: -c: line 0: `<!DOCTYPE html>'
```
The command I'm executing is
```
bash -c "$(curl -s https://install.prediction.io/install.sh)"
```
How can I solve this? What went wrong?

  Great Observation! It was a typo error when writing the question but the command stills shows the same error.
