Installation on Ubuntu 16.04 - bad magic number in 'loudml'

[qbee-io]

Hi I'm trying to install loudml on my server by following manual installation steps, and got some strange errors:

My server: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Python 3.5.2

auto installation is failing too - file is not found. See logs below

Could someone guide me how I can solve this "bad magic" issue?

This is what I see in the journal logs:

p.s. "normal" installation is failing:

W: The repository 'http://loudml.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/repo/deb/packages/1.x/apt stable Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.

I made the same mistake. You need to install loudlm on Debian Stretch (9) - Ubuntu is not working

Thank you @opvizordz ! I'll give it a try

Sorry for this issue and thanks to @opvizordz for suggesting the best workaround for Ubuntu users. The current package will definitely work on Debian 9 and will let you move to the next step.

I manage to install it manually.

apt-get way did not work for me.

Thank you for the help. I'll close this one.
