Current install instructions seem to be broken.

[LaurentDumont]

Hi!

This seemed like a nice project and I was looking to trying it. That said, it looks like the install instructions might be outaded.

Looking at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liamg/shox/master/scripts/install.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -e

echo "Determining platform..."
platform=$(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
echo "Finding latest release..."
asset=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/liamg/shox/releases/latest | grep -o "https://github.com/liamg/shox/releases/download/.*/shox-$platform-amd64" | head -n1)
echo "Downloading latest release for your platform..."
curl -s -L -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" "${asset}" --output ./shox
echo "Installing shox..."
chmod +x ./shox
installdir="${HOME}/bin/"
if [ "$EUID" -eq 0 ]; then
  installdir="/usr/local/bin/"
fi
mkdir -p $installdir
mv ./shox "${installdir}/shox"
which shox &> /dev/null || (echo "Please add ${installdir} to your PATH to complete installation!" && exit 1)
echo "Installation complete!"

This https://api.github.com/repos/liamg/shox/releases/latest seems to return

And this grep -o "https://github.com/liamg/shox/releases/download/.*/shox-$platform-amd64" | head -n1 wont match anything 😢

Any update on this?

[erichs]

I note that the last release which contained built platform binaries was https://github.com/liamg/shox/releases/tag/v0.0.12.

v0.0.13 and later do not have downloadable binaries.

[imlinus]

Okay, I got it up and running by copying the steps from the script and using v0.0.12 that erichs suggested

Here is what I did

curl -s -L -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" "https://github.com/liamg/shox/releases/download/v0.0.12/shox-linux-amd64" --output ./shox

chmod +x ./shox

sudo mv ./shox /bin/shox

shox

Cheers 💯
