    Hi all,

    I've downloaded it as a tar.gz package from the official site and the installer will always exit with this:
    1. ./install: 51: ./install: Bad substitution
    Copy the Code


    Also there's this line that appears a bit earlier:
    1. dirname: missing operand
    2. For more information run the „dirname --help” command.
    Copy the Code
    I've attached the installer script as a PDF, so you can view it if neccessary.

    What is strange about this that Deepin is now installed to an SSD, but while Deepin was on a HDD, there were no problem with installing PT on it. Both Deepin and PT are the same version as they are installed on the HDD (Deepin is still bootable on it).

    Solution: Start the installer with sudo bash ./install instead of sudo sh ./install.
