Getting a Syntax Error ")" on Linux Installer

USST

I have followed the instructions but when i get to sudo ./EmteriaXXXXX.AppImage i am getting a returned Syntax Error ")" and have no idea why. I only have one file in my downloads folder that i am reading from.

Fish

Right there with you... I have the same issue.

Hi @USST and @Fish ,
What Linux distribution / version are you using?
In your user folder, there should be \Emteria\Emteria.OS Installer\logs; can you attach one with the error?

Fish

Hi @smieschek, I am running Debian 11.4 (64bit) on RPi 4 model B. I'm not finding the error log. I made the EmteriaXXXXX.AppImage executable, however when I click on the file via GUI it does nothing and when trying to run it terminal with sudo ./EmteriaXXXXXX.AppImage it give the syntax error.

@Fish , the installer is not meant for the target device. Run the AppImage or Exe on your computer/laptop to flash an SD card, which you than use on your RPi.

Fish

Ok, my goal is to run off a USB that's plugged into my RPi. I can't execute the installer at this point to install on my USB.

smieschek

Booting emteria.OS from USB on RPi4 is not supported. Any reason not to use an SD card?

Fish

Good to know. I can use an SD card. I'm trying to load up the installer on my Windows Surface now and it's giving me issues there too. Pulls up a script, a white Emteria window appears and then goes away. No indications in the error log of what's happening that I can see.

@Fish , please start the installer.exe, not the maintenancetool.exe
