DCM installation on Ubuntu 18.04

[scruz002]

Hi,

I tried to install DCM on Ubuntu 18.04 using the .rpm file but I was not successful.

sudo apt-get install alien

curl -L https://github.com/sbgrid/data-capture-module/releases/tag/0.6/dcm-0.6-0.noarch.rpm > dcm-0.6-0.noarch.rpm

sudo alien dcm-0.6-0.noarch.rpm
error: dcm-0.6-0.noarch.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest)
Error executing "LANG=C rpm -qp --queryformat %{NAME} 'dcm-0.6-0.noarch.rpm'": at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 489.
I would like to know what the instructions are for installing DCM from the .tar.gz file.

Thank you

@scruz002 When I run that command, it puts HTML into the file rather than the RPM contents - so that's likely to be the source of the "not an rpm package" error you're seeing.

@scruz002 The proper download URL is https://github.com/sbgrid/data-capture-module/releases/download/0.6/dcm-0.6-0.noarch.rpm
