Hi,

I'm a bit of a noob here.

First of all I tried the easy version with the "bash <(curl ....etc." command, but I receive the following error: "-sh: syntax error near unexpected token `(' "

So I did the curl command and saved the output into gyb_install.sh, but when I then run the script, I get the following error: "ERROR: Attribute: browser_download_url for linux-x86_64-legacy.tar.xz version latest not found". So I need to install GYB by hand, but I don't know which linux version to install, or how to make it from the source code.

So any help would be appreciated.

Looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely, Mathias

Hi,

As I haven't received an answer yet and because of my earlier replies, which may have given the idea that I received answers, I'm posting again my original question.

I don't have a Synology so I can't really offer you steps here. You won't be able to use the normal install since that's only for regular x86 devices. You may be able to install Python 3 and the libraries manually but that will involve some trial and error on your side.

Thank you Jay,

I have installed python3. 

How do I determine which libraries I need?

Hi. If you're still interested, try this command. It's essentially the same but with (hopefully) the full path to the bash binary.
```
/bin/bash <(curl -s -S -L https://gyb-shortn.jaylee.us/gyb-install)
```

Or you can try just downloading the install file, make it executable and run it.
```
curl -L https://gyb-shortn.jaylee.us/gyb-install --output gyb-install.sh
chmod +x gyb-install.sh
./gyb-install.sh
```
If you're going the whole manual route you'll need to know which realse works for your architecture. Use the below command and it will spit out which architecture you have (eg. x86_64 or aarch). That will narrow down your choices to glibc2.x or legacy. I think you'd end up with legacy. Your mileage may vary.
```
uname -m
```
From there you'll need to lean how to download the file with curl (hint hint ealier command is a guide), unzip/unarchive it (type "man tar" and get a clue from there, xf are the options you want), put the resulting binary somewhere useful that's in your $PATH.

Good luck.
