BioSimSpace install script about biosimspace HOT 3 CLOSED

Strange. It should only require basic command-line utilities that come as standard on the Linux and macOS systems on which I've tested? Does your Ubuntu box not come with curl? In any case, I should put it some more checks to ensure that the required utilities are available and catch errors when things go wrong.

From a quick look, it looks like curl isn't installed by default on your version of Ubuntu. I'll add a check for this in the installer.

A sudo apt-get install curl should hopefully fix your problem.

weird curl is on the command line but does nothing....I used wget.
