issue installing on BitCurator

[ccmn98]

I tried to install the GUI on the BitCurator OVA file in Virtual box but in the terminal I am given the message, "tee: invalid option -- 'e' ."

What changes can I do to successfully install the GUI?

Thanks

Thanks @ccmn98 ! Can you share with me the command you used to try to install in BitCurator, and also the version of BitCurator you're using?

I had this same issue on bitcurator 4.4.3, and found some super simple fixes.

I installed it yesterday near COB and got an error (which of course I forget). It did make /usr/share/applications/BrunnhildeGUI.desktop (although it didn't appear in the application menu as I expected). So I was able to run it with the path listed in that file: /use/share/brunnhilde-gui/launch and do what I needed to do.

I returned today and ran the install again to see what was up, and I get this error:

/usr/share/brunnhilde-gui exists, but is empty, as the files in the repo got moved the first time with mv so they're no longer in my current directory. Replacing mv with cp should make this re-runable.

Re-cloning the repo and running install again I get what I suspect is the original error:

Looking at install.sh, this is just because its missing a dash (-).

It still doesn't show up in my applications menu, because chown isn't working right as I am not bcadmin. It should be pretty simple to set this up for multiple users. I'll put in a PR for these fixes/improvements.

Fixed in #6 thanks to @gwiedeman ! Just released v2.0.1 with the fix :)
