Linux download "SyntaxError: invalid syntax"
My server is CentOS 6 - x86_64 (64-bit)
From the calibre-ebook.com/download_linux page, is this: You can also do an "isolated" install that only touches files inside the installation directory and does not need to be run as root, like this: wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sh /dev/stdin install_dir=~/calibre-bin isolated=y When I connect with SSH through Mac OS Terminal, this is the response to the command: ______@bontragerconnection.com [~]# wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sh /dev/stdin install_dir=~/calibre-bin isolated=y 2018-06-08 11:34:48 URL:https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh [30829/30829] -> "-" [1] Using python executable: /usr/bin/python2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 760 return x.lower() in {'y', 'yes', '1', 'true'} ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ______@bontragerconnection.com [~]# How can I get past that? Thank you! Will |

I dont see how that error is possible. The line in the error message is not a syntax error, unless your server has a truly ancient version of python. In which case you can get around it by either installing a newer python or using the manual install instructions that are lower down on the download linux page.

CentOS 6 uses Python 2.6.6.

Thank you, both of you.
The python version information: >>> import sys >>> print(sys.version) 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Aug 18 2016, 15:13:37) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17)] >>> I did install Calbre manually. A quick install. Now I find GLIBC 2.17 isn't on the server so I have to get the hosting company to install that. But I'm moving with this and I thank you for the help over the hump. Will |

Just FYI,
The hosting company responded with: "Updating the version of glibc beyond what's offered by CentOS 6 is not recommended. Instead, we need to consider setting up a new server with CentOS 7, and then migrating your accounts to CentOS 7 if you require the version of glibc (2.17) offered in newer CentOS versions. Also new version (4.8) of gcc will available in CentOS 7. We believe this versions of gcc and glibc are sufficient for Calibre." This forum has wonderful support. Will |

Do the upgrade CentOS 7-1804 ships with glibc 2.17.
