Error management Autotiler install

[knmcguire]

Hi!

We had two reports of users installing the autotiler wrong or used a wrong URL. Since the installer did not give an error message , t took a long time to figure out what was actually happening and figured out that they needed to install it again. Perhaps it would be better to give a clear error if the wrong URL is used.

Hi,

Actually, we do have some error messages like this:

(base) yao@yao-tuxedo:~/projects/sdk/gap_sdk_github$ make autotiler

And you think it's not enough? Can you be more precise on what kind of message we can add for help?

Ah that seems to be sufficient indeed. The issue that I linked from the other repository: bitcraze/aideck-gap8-examples#43, indicated that it didn't see anything at all... So I wonder how that is possible. However they did use a older version of the SDK

[knmcguire]

Hi! Probably this issue is not super urgent to check out so let's just close it for now. I'm not sure how to fix the issue that one of our users had either. if I'm able to recreate it properly i'll open it again

Pls let us know if you have more clear idea. Just fyi, we may provide an official container in 1-2 months
