Issue installing bot (sed command)

[betzerra]

Hi, After running sed -i "s/yourusername/$(whoami)/g" etc/telegram.conf I get: sed: 1: "etc/telegram.conf": invalid command code e.

Any ideas?

Any help @demil133 ?

@betzerra, are you using Mac? Apparently BSD implementation of sed is slightly different from the GNU one which we use on linux, as they point out in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4247068/sed-command-failing-on-mac-but-works-on-linux

Adding a backup extension for a backup file seems to get the BSD version working.

sed -i.bak "s/yourusername/$(whoami)/g" etc/telegram.conf

This will create a backup version in etc/telegram.conf.bak

Same thing with the path substitution (which uses different separators to avoid problems with the path)

sed -i.bak "s_telegrambotpath_$(pwd)_g" etc/telegram.conf

If this doesn't work, please, provide more information. I hope it helps! :)

Has this been resolved?

Yes, I think so
