sh: 74: [: UG}: unexpected operator

[gauntface]

When running this with wget command on Raspbian I get the following errors:

sh: 74: [: UG}: unexpected operator
sh: 77: [: UG}: unexpected operator
sh: 88: syntax error: Missing '}'

[glenpike]

Maybe retry with

wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/master/npm-g-nosudo.sh | bash

?

[sinhix]

With the latter script on bash:

bash: line 142: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
bash: line 142: `    [Yy]* ) fix_env;;'

[maikokuppe]

Got exactly the same errors in both cases on Ubuntu 16.04

[glenpike]

@maikokuppe - can you please try running the script as below (I've done a Pull Request with a possible fix)

wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/b28-case-esac/npm-g-nosudo.sh | bash

[gauntface]

Just tried the PR with possible fix, get the following error:

bash: line 142: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
bash: line 142: `    [Yy]*) fix_env;;'

[joelclimbsthings]

I got exactly the results as the others with the listed scripts. I'm using Xubuntu 16.04.

[raghav-kukreti]

Getting the same error right now.
Ubuntu 16.04

[glenpike]

Okay, I've tried fixing this problem again on the branch, please try the following:

wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/b28-case-esac/npm-g-nosudo.sh | bash

or download the file from the branch and run manually - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/b28-case-esac/npm-g-nosudo.sh

If you have problems, please tell me what shell you are running with the following:

which sh | xargs ls -al

Invalid choice

You may need to add the following to your ~/.bashrc / .zshrc file(s)


export NPM_PACKAGES="/home/tony/.npm-packages"
export NODE_PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/lib/node_modules${NODE_PATH:+:$NODE_PATH}"
export PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
# Unset manpath so we can inherit from /etc/manpath via the `manpath`
# command
unset MANPATH  # delete if you already modified MANPATH elsewhere in your config
export MANPATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/share/man:$(manpath)"


bash: line 146: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
bash: line 146: `elif [ $yn = "Y"  ]; then'

Here's shell info u have requested:

which sh | xargs ls -al
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 24 09:33 /usr/bin/sh -> /bin/sh

Hi, @a2nt

Okay - it looks like piping the wget output to bash causes issues with the elif statement.
If you download 'manually' change permissions and execute it, what happens?

wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glenpike/npm-g_nosudo/b28-case-esac/npm-g-nosudo.sh >npm-g-nosudo.sh 

Then

chmod 755 npm-g-nosudo.sh

Then

./npm-g-nosudo.sh

(I've just tried this in a brand new vagrant machine on Ubuntu 16.04 using the shell and it seems to behave correctly)

[glenpike]

If that's not behaving, do you have bash installed on Debian - I'm guessing I could change the shebang so it has to run under bash, but that might exclude people - I've tried making it compliant as possible, but maybe doing something wrong there.

[gauntface]

I just tried this on a Pi and seems to be working as far as I can tell so thank you so much for the continued work and support on this.

Note: This is running using wget.

[glenpike]

Thanks @gauntface - is that using master branch or the PR one?
