Problems running install script

[arimourao]

Downloaded a ubuntu xenial vagrant box, cloned the repo to ~/.bash-it and running the install script with sudo ./bash-it.sh I run into the following errors:

ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.bash-it$ sudo ./bash_it.sh ./bash_it.sh: line 32: /bin/bash/lib/composure.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 35: cite: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 38: /bin/bash/themes/colors.theme.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 39: /bin/bash/themes/base.theme.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 47: /bin/bash/lib/*.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 54: _load_bash_it_files: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 54: _load_bash_it_files: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 54: _load_bash_it_files: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 58: /bin/bash/lib/appearance.bash: Not a directory

What happens when you run it without sudo?

[arimourao]

Same thing. I also tried to install in my notebook running Debian 8 Jessie and runs into the same issue.

ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.bash-it$ ./bash_it.sh ./bash_it.sh: line 32: /bin/bash/lib/composure.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 35: cite: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 38: /bin/bash/themes/colors.theme.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 39: /bin/bash/themes/base.theme.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 47: /bin/bash/lib/*.bash: Not a directory ./bash_it.sh: line 54: _load_bash_it_files: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 54: _load_bash_it_files: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 54: _load_bash_it_files: command not found ./bash_it.sh: line 58: /bin/bash/lib/appearance.bash: Not a directory

How about you run the actual install script (install.sh)? You're not supposed to run bash_it.sh directly 😝

Please try running ./install.sh from the folder you cloned Bash-it to.

[arimourao]

Ok, my bad! But after I install, I'm prompted with: To show the available aliases/completions/plugins, type one of the following: bash-it show aliases bash-it show completions bash-it show plugins

Then I Type: ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~/.bash-it$ bash-it show completions bash-it: command not found

[nwinkler]

Right above that, the installer should have also printed the following:

Installation finished successfully! Enjoy bash-it!
To start using it, open a new tab or 'source "$HOME/.bashrc"'

Can you please give that a try? When you open a new tab in your terminal app, the bash-it function should be available.

Closing this now, since there was no further feedback. Feel free to reopen if the problem persists.

I can reproduce the problem. The read me README.md instructs:

Run ~/.bash_it/install.sh (it automatically backs up your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, depending on your OS)

(emphasis mine)

jared@shepardbook:~$ . ~/.bash_it/install.sh 
Installing bash-it
Backup file already exists. Make sure to backup your .bashrc before running this installation.
Would you like to overwrite the existing backup? This will delete your existing backup file (/home/jared/.bashrc.bak) [y/N] y
Would you like to keep your .bashrc and append bash-it templates at the end? [y/N] y
Your original .bashrc has been backed up to .bashrc.bak
sed: can't read /home/jared/template/bash_profile.template.bash: No such file or directory
Bash-it template has been added to your .bashrc
bash: /home/jared/lib/composure.bash: No such file or directory

Command 'cite' not found, did you mean:

  command 'scite' from deb scite
  command 'ctie' from deb texlive-binaries
  command 'cfte' from deb fte
  command 'vite' from deb vite

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

bash: /home/jared/lib/helpers.bash: No such file or directory

To show the available aliases/completions/plugins, type one of the following:
  bash-it show aliases
  bash-it show completions
  bash-it show plugins

To avoid issues and to keep your shell lean, please enable only features you really want to use.
Enabling everything can lead to issues.
jared@shepardbook:~$ source ~/.bashrc
jared@shepardbook:~$ bash-it show aliases
bash-it: command not found

However following your instructions in this issue I switched into ~/.bash_it and ran ./install.sh and everything worked.

jared@shepardbook:~$ cd .bash_it/

Thanks for the update on this? Anybody willing to look into this issue to provide a PR fixing this? Looks like something is wrong with the paths in the install script...

I ran into a similar problem with OSX using zsh, changing my shell to bash chsh -s /bin/bash and restarting my terminal fixed the problem for me.
