Download MSS installer on an Ubuntu Linux system

The Ubuntu Linux system on which these steps are executed should have at least 51 GB free in the root / partition and the user executing these steps should have sudo access on the system. Those who are adept in bash script may adapt this for any other download destination directory -

Copy/paste the below contents into a file download_mss_installer.sh, make it executable chmod +x download_mss_installer.sh and execute it sudo ./download_mss_installer.sh at the bash prompt.

#!/bin/bash

apt install -yqq zsync
echo "Downloading MSS installer"
mkdir -p /installer && cd /installer
time ( zsync http://support.myscoolserver.com:3080/mss/content2/mss.tar.zsync && \
chmod a+r mss.tar && \
rsync -avP rsync://support.myscoolserver.com:8730/mssinstaller/checksum_msstar /installer/checksum_msstar && \
rsync -avP rsync://support.myscoolserver.com:8730/mssinstaller/mssinstaller.bsx /installer/mssinstaller.bsx && \
chmod a+rx /installer/mssinstaller.bsx && \
echo "`date`: mss.tar installer downloaded successfully") || \
( echo "`date`: installer image download process failed. Contact MSS Support - https://myscoolserver.com/support ." )

Note: Before attempting these steps, do notify our support team so that they shall ensure that the server hosting the installer is available. This is a lesser used method, hence it is made available only on demand.

Once the above download has completed, do contact the MSS support team to help setup the installation server completely and guide you with a MSS installation. They shall need remote access over SSH to your system to complete the process. Once ready, you may book a spot herein.
