Execution of a remote Bash script fin GitHub fails

Question

I'm trying to run a bash script on my RaspberryPi 3 model B+ with the following curl:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=<my_personal_access_token>

curl -sSL https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@raw.githubusercontent.com/inmarsat-enterprise/fieldedge-core/main/install.sh | bash

I have also tried with doing a sudo apt install dos2unix from another thread, but this also failed with the command:

curl -sSL https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@raw.githubusercontent.com/inmarsat-enterprise/fieldedge-core/main/install.sh | dos2unix |bash

The bash script "install.sh" contains user prompts, and it's spitting out of the script at the first one, but I have no idea how to resolve this issue?

Can anyone help?

Error I'm seeing on the Pi:

pi@fieldedge:~ $ curl -sSL https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@raw.githubusercontent.com/inmarsat-enterprise/fieldedge-core/main/install.sh |dos2unix | bash

I believe the fieldedge-core repository is private and therefore we are unable to see what install.sh is trying to do. You also have given almost no information about how it fails. Is there an error? What made you want to try dos2unix? — jesse_b

Hi Jesse, sorry first time using this platform. The repo is private for IPR reasons, I can share the output from the Pi? Not sure how to post that in here? — Ash Fletcher

What are you typing at the prompt? Is 1) Yes your literal input? It's just looking for 1 FWIW — jesse_b

Okay let me pull the install.sh file so you can see it. Bear with. Anyway I can upload a file into this? — Ash Fletcher

None of those are errors. Do you get any other output? What makes you think there is a problem here? This is incredibly unsafe as you are just blindly executing commands without checking what they do, but if you are confident the script is not dangerous, I don't see a problem here. Does it work better if you don't pipe? Try curl -sSL https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@raw.githubusercontent.com/inmarsat-enterprise/fieldedge-core/main/install.sh > install.sh; bash ./install.sh. — terdon

I don't know what the issue is since there are no obvious errors, but a simple workaround is to download the script to a file and then execute that file instead of using the pipe:

curl -sSL https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@raw.githubusercontent.com/inmarsat-enterprise/fieldedge-core/main/install.sh > install.sh
bash ./install.sh
