Help installing Roon Server on clean ubuntu 24.04

Hi @Quadman,

Roon’s installation instructions for Linux are not up to date. Shame on Roon!

They moved the installer script to another domain altogether, and to download the correct version of the installer, you have to run the download command as this:

curl -O -L https://download.roonlabs.com/builds/roonbridge-installer-linuxx64.sh

Explanation:

It seems Roonlabs has moved the download location for the install script from the roonlabs.com to the roonlabs.net domain, and for curl to be able to follow the permanent redirection, you have to run it with the ‘-L’ option.

You are the second user I’ve seen today running into the same problem, and it would be great if Roon’s support team could be bothered to update instructions and/or download URL on their web…
