unix_setup.sh script error due to ^M

[mfrade]

When I run the unix_setup.sh script I get this error:
./unix_setup.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

This error happens because the file was saved with "windows style" end of the line (\r\n), which appears as ^M at the end of every line:
cat -Te unix_setup.sh

This error can be easily fixed:
dos2unix unix_setup.sh

Running sh unix_setup.sh will run this script in macOS.

I get the "bad interpreter" error as well when running with "./unix_setup.sh". When I run "sh unix_setup.sh" I get some really nonsensical output:

: command not found 5: 
: command not found 9: 
: command not found 10:

unix_setup.sh: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'nix_setup.sh: line 22: `elif [ -f "$photorec_osx_filepath" ]; then ''

Update: running dos2unix on the setup script resolves these issues for me as well.

Are you guys running this from the "ZIP" file or from source code?

If ZIP, we should fix this in the installer.

For me it's from the ZIP. Also when I start up Autopsy I get a UI with essentially no options and no functionality.

I also used the ZIP file.

I too got this issue from the zip and fixed it in the same way. It does seem to be an issue with the installer.

We are addressing this - for the next release, the script will have the correct line endings.

this is easy to fix:

vim '+set ff=unix' '+w' '+q' ./unix_setup.sh

done.
