Hello @kingy444, the error says jq can not be found on your system. Why not simply install it 😄 https://github.com/OutsideIT/FireMotD/blob/master/readme.md#install-dependencies

willemdh commented 6 years ago

We should probably best check for it and suggest installation

ThomDietrich commented 6 years ago

My suggestion would be the dedicated installation and update script mentioned in #78

ThomDietrich commented 6 years ago

Ah you mean to check prerequisites while starting FireMotD. Yes I agree. The same goes for the other tools used, potentially you should also check for a supported distribution (?) and for #77

didnt even know what jq was sorry. didnt realise that their was new install requirements. ill try that when i get home thanks

this error message is always a bit misleading. Happened to us all ;) You might be happy to hear that @willemdh already thought of a solution, see #83
