Hi @sinamics

I've made small improvements in your bash script :) I think they'll be useful in the future.

Patch format as follows:

Well... There're another issues I've just discovered with this script...

I've installed clean Debian 12 without X and other stuff, and when I tried to install using curl -s http://install.ztnet.network | sudo bash
that fails because of no curl package is installed.

So I installed curl, then again I ran curl -s http://install.ztnet.network | sudo bash
That again fails because sudo was not found ;)
Yes! Clean Debian 12 install in text mode does not have sudo installed by default!

Thoughts... In the documentation we should mention at the beginning, that curl and sudo packages are mandatory to install ztnet via "curl -s http://install.ztnet.network | sudo bash" command.

I don't know if this applies to Ubuntu... Didn't try.

Regards!

EDIT (clean install of Debian 12):

root@debian-hv:~# curl -s http://install.ztnet.network | sudo bash
bash: sudo: command not found
bash: curl: command not found

Thx.
I have updated the readme and added your patch.
I also added the install.ztnet code into this main repo for better visibility.

No no!

We must bear in mind, that clean Debian install does not have sudo installed by default as well :/

According to:

I've removed "sudo" form command:

root@debian-hv:~# curl -s http://install.ztnet.network | bash


Welcome to the installation script.
This script will perform the following actions:
  1. Check if PostgreSQL is installed. If not, it will be installed.
  2. Check if Node.js version 18 is installed. If not, it will be installed.
  3. Clone ztnet repo into /tmp folder and build artifacts .
  4. Copy artifacts to /opt/ztnet folder.
Please note:
  - You will have the option to set a custom password for the PostgreSQL user 'postgres'.
Press space to proceed with the installation...bash: line 70: sudo: command not found

Agrrr, it fails ;)

So I propose in the manual at the top of topic to change:

Install curl if it is not already installed:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl

to:

Login as **root** on your system, then install 'curl' and 'sudo' if it is not already installed:

apt update && apt install -y sudo curl
