Hi, I’m eager to start using this software, but cannot for the life of me figure out where to download it now that I’ve purchased the license. The download page doesn’t seem to show any links for a download. I’m beginning to feel like I must be crazy. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for getting back to me. That webpage was the first place I went to. No download starts when I navigate to that page, nor does any download start when I select my operating system (Arch Linux). The instructions that appear don’t make any intuitive sense to me, as the command shown doesn’t include a link for a download.
Since you are running Arch, you have to install through the Terminal.
Step 1: Open the Terminal (Konsole on KDE, I don’t know what desktop you are using). Type
curl
See if it is installed. If it says:
curl: try 'curl --help' for more information
then skip step 2 and go to 3.
Step 2: Install curl by typing this in the terminal
sudo pacman -S curl
and say yes to the prompts. You will need your admin password.
Step 3:
Change login to root by typing
sudo su -
then type this:
bash <(curl -fsSL getamp.sh)
Follow the prompts. This is what the link I sent shows, I just added the curl part as I suspect you don’t have it installed. Note all these command modifiers are case sensitive so type in exactly as shown. The curl part of the command is what starts the download.
There is a video there on that page as well.
Oh, perfect, thank you for your patience! I didn’t realize the command there would retrieve the file without a link in the command. I’m all set now, thanks for your assistance!
No worries.
FYI the getamp.sh actually is a link. If you put that into a browser, you get the shell script to install.

Overthinking xD You literally run the command from the install page. No other steps required.
