Hi all
Having some errors trying to install the Proton VPN desktop client located here:
Running the following command:
wget “https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$(cat /etc/fedora-release | cut -d’ ’ -f 3)-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm”
I am getting the following output:
HTTP ERROR response 404 [https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-Remix-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm]
Any help would be appreciated!
Hey! I literally had the same issue today.
It seems that the command was intended to extract the fedora version by looking at the third word in /etc/fedora-release.
So normally it would have been “Fedora release 43” → 43
But because Asahi is a remix and named “Fedora Asahi Remix release 43” → “Remix” which breaks the url.
So for Asahi we just have to look at the 5th word to find the version number, here is the modified command
wget "https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$(cat /etc/fedora-release | cut -d' ' -f 5)-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm"
or just visit the URL in your browser:
For Fedora 43:
https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-43-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm
For Fedora 42:
https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-42-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm
etc.
Awesome – doing that worked perfectly and the rest of the install went great. Thank you! I appreciate it.
