Describe the issue

Linux installation script line 191 wget failure:
The script "roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh" shows the error "Unknown option 'show-progress'" when executed on Fedora Linux 40.
When I delete "-- show progress" in the wget call in line 191, the install script works flawlessly.

What version of wget are you using?

I guess it is likely one of the most recent versions: wget2-wget-2.1.0-9.fc40.x86_64

Found the solution:
Fedora (Changes/Wget2asWget - Fedora Project Wiki) and other distros are starting to replace wget with wget2. Wget2 renames the “show-progress” option to “force-progress”.
Roon team should change the install script with another if clause.

I’m not so sure, since wget and wget2 are distinct binaries, and can coexist in a system. Have you symlinked wget2 to wget, or is this something unique to Fedora?

According to the link Changes/Wget2asWget - Fedora Project Wiki it is “something unique” to Fedora 40:

When upgrading to Fedora Linux 40, systems with wget installed will be switched to wget2 via the wget2-wget package.

So every installation attempt on Fedora 40 with the current Linux install script will exit with the error “Unknown option ‘show-progress’”.
