If I click on the link in your posting above, the file gets opened. You can save the file then from your browser if you wish to as a substitute for the first of the three lines. If the file doesn’t open in the browser then you have some network problem that you need to troubleshoot.
I have installed Roon bridge before on many of my raspberry PI endpoints by using the arm8 scripts but were not able to install it on Ubuntu latest os version.
I have experienced a similiar problem with moode new OS and in that case I have reverted back to the old version. Where i tried to install ROON BRIDGE but I have to use “curl - LO” before the http addtess.
That is my reson for asking if anything have changed on ROON directory for files to be downloaded or if ROON bridge web page have not been updated?
I think I undestand what you mean, that I have to go to file been downloaded from browser. Navigate to it and then apply the scripts as below using terminal.
If you rightclick the link, your browser will show a “Download linked file” or similar in the context menu. Just like downloading any file. This is in Safari:
theunis@theunis-HP-ProBook-650-G3:~$ curl -LO https://download.roonlabs.com/builds/roonbridge-installer-linuxx64.sh

You need to see add the ‘L’ option to the curl command which redirects to the actual downloadable file. Without this you are downloading the html link itself.
Type man curl or curl --help in a terminal for more information. You could also use wget which handles redirects without the need for specific options. Sloppy release practices like this would be an embarrassment on a single volunteer developer FLOSS project, on a paid for product it’s simply not on-it literally means that no one checked the documentation before publishing it.
