Getting a Syntax Error ")" on Linux Installer

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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.
