When I run curl -sSL https://sunfounder.github.io/pironman/install.sh | sudo bash, I get two error messages:
bash: line 1: syntax error at unexpected symbol >>newline<<
bash: line 1: “”
What is going wrong?
Best regards,
Andi
May I ask which specific product of ours you are using?
Based on the information, it appears that the incorrect software may have been installed.
Please check the tutorial link on the product’s assembly leaflet. Visit the correct tutorial page and follow the official installation steps.
Hello, thank you for your quick reply.
I am using Pironman 5 with a Raspberry 5. My problem is that I cannot install the Pironman software module. The installation ran with errors; the OLED display works, but unfortunately the dashboard does not. When I try to reinstall, I get a message saying that the directory already exists and cannot be overwritten.
I hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hi Andi, which version of pironman5 have you? Standard, Mini, Max. Each version have his own software, you need to take the right one. Which OS are you using? To remove old pironman5 downloaded software, you can go into terminal, type sudo pcmanfm , search for pironman5 files in all folders. Then select all and delete. After that you can download the right software for your pironman5.
Hello David,
I am using a Pironman Standard (Pironman 5), and the Raspi software is the current version Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) Debian Trixie with the Raspberry Pie Desktop 2025-10-01. When I search with pcmanfm, I only find one Pironman file in my home directory (/home/andreas/pironman5). Is this the only directory? How can I download the correct software, and where from?
Thank you for your help. Best regards,
Andi

To find all pironman5 files, you need to search from the root and show all hidden files.
To install the good software, just to follow those steps, for commands, the easiest way with error is to copy\paste lines. Setting Up on Raspberry Pi OS/Ubuntu/Kali Linux/Homebridge — SunFounder Pironman 5 documentation
Normally it’ll make it without any issues.

Copy\paste each commands in terminal, it should works.
Unfortunately, Pi OS does not allow me to delete the Pironman5 files.

At least, just delete those who are into \home\USER\pironman5
Good morning David,
So far so good, the file ‘pironman5.egg-info’ cannot be deleted, all others have been deleted.
Can I reinstall it now? Or are further steps necessary?
Many thanks and best regards,
Andreas

HI, unfortunately, the new installation still isn’t working because this file is still there. I can’t delete it either because I don’t have sufficient rights to do so. What can I do?

At this point, we’ll try to stop pironman5 service, sudo systemctl stop pironman5.service , then sudo pcmanfm go in root, research for pironman5 files, show hidden files, select all and delete. If it doesn’t work, the last solution will be to reinstall OS , update system : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y , reboot and install pironman5 software.
So Andi, no news, good news?
