Prerequisites page is missing curl

[warg]

Hello,

the prerequisites page does miss curl for Debian 10 minimal setups. This should be added to the list of packages to be installed. Otherwise the command

bash <(curl -Ss https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh) auto

fails.

Best Regards,

@scriptkitty FYI in case you manage the docs .

This has been in the code for a very long time, I'm not sure why wouldn't these commands work (unless your repos are failing). There have been no other reports in the thread (maybe for a reason?). If you really have any problems with the installation - installation output would help.

I never reported it because I always just installed it.

for Debian you need
apt-get -y install curl

@smtalk This might be in the code but it's not helpful for this issue because it's too late at that point: The command to execute the shell script is using curl to download the script and thus the download already fails. So no way for your script to check this before it's anyway fulfilled because the sysadmin installed curl before executing the command.

I hope it's clear what I mean.

I've updated the command there, thanks.
