Receiving error during EPG install

[Shadow3766]

I am trying to install this for the first time, I am not a programmer at all.

I was following the steps here https://github.com/iptv-org/epg

During the install all the necessary dependencies step while running the NPM install command, I am receiving an error about the ELIFECYCLE. I have additional Log files i can attach if needed.

Not an expert but I believe all npm api:load is doing is running this shell script located in /scripts/commands/api/load.sh. I was getting the same error but that is because I m running on Windows which I am guessing might not be supported. All the script is doing is creating a directory and downloading 4 files

mkdir -p scripts/tmp/data curl -L -o scripts/tmp/data/channels.json https://iptv-org.github.io/api/channels.json curl -L -o scripts/tmp/data/countries.json https://iptv-org.github.io/api/countries.json curl -L -o scripts/tmp/data/regions.json https://iptv-org.github.io/api/regions.json curl -L -o scripts/tmp/data/subdivisions.json https://iptv-org.github.io/api/subdivisions.json

So I manually created the directory and then converted the curl command to powershell commands to download the files into the scripts/tmp/data/ folder. That seems to do the trick . I am able to properly fetch tv guides. I hope that helps.

I can try giving that a try. I am running this on Ubuntu so for me it will be a little different

Hello, I have the same issue and the problem is the "shebang" operator #!/bin/bash. In environments where /bin/bash is not installed such as docker alpine images, an error is returned when running the script ./scripts/commands/api/load.sh. Installing bash in the image/environment solves the issue.

Fixed in https://github.com/iptv-org/epg/pull/2177

Please try to update or reinstall the grabber.
