Compatibility issues (?) in installer script

[kemege]

When I run

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pluveto/flydav/main/scripts/installer.sh | sudo bash

in Debian 11.6, I got the following error:

bash: line 129: ARCH: command not found

It turns out that bash identifies the ARCH in $(ARCH) in Line 129 as a command, and changing it to $ARCH seems to resolve the problem.

I'm not quite familiar with bash, but as this script has existed for a long time, perhaps this bug is specific to some new version of bash?

Try the new version

Thank you for your quick response! The previous problem has been resolved. However, I found another problem when using the command in README. When I use curl to download the script, and use "sudo bash" to run it, everything is fine. However, if I use pipe to run the script, like curl -sL ... | sudo bash, all the places that require user input are skipped automatically, and the script will exit with error. The output will be like this:

$ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pluveto/flydav/main/scripts/installer.sh | sudo bash

I think we can download the installer and execute it manually.

curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pluveto/flydav/main/scripts/installer.sh" -o /tmp/flydav-installer.sh
sudo chmod +x /tmp/flydav-installer.sh
sudo bash
sudo rm -f /tmp/flydav-installer.sh
