Can't install 6.2.15 on Linux

Hi -- I downloaded the latest agent - 6.2.15 - for my linux box. However, when I try to run the install I get the messages:

bash: bash: No such file or directory

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Thinking the download was corrupted, I downloaded it again, but got the same errors
What should I do?

Found the problem. I had to chmod +x the file. Previously I just tried to source it. But then it calls itself.

Re: Can't install 6.2.15 on Linux

Sorry for your adverse experience. Read that currently the install instructions do not seem to come up for Linux when downloading the package from WCG.

For anyone looking, all the install instructions have been collated in a Start Here FAQ, the old version Linux instructions can be found here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/ms/viewThankYouAll.do?platformPick=linux

cheers
