Hello, I asked this in another related string, but thought that I should perhaps start a new string too. I followed all of the instructions in previous and [strongly related discussion string](http://forum.imgtec.com/discussion/2337/powervr-sdk-linux-installation-fails#latest) where a person’s problems had been solved and could not get the install to work. When I try to run: `sudo sh ./PowerVRSDKSetup-3.1.run-x64` I get: `./PowerVRSDKSetup-3.1.run-x64: 1: ./PowerVRSDKSetup-3.1.run-x64: Syntax error: “(” unexpected` Please advise and thanks in advance, Thom ---

Hi Twives. Just to let you know, we’re looking in to this for you, to see if we can find the root cause, and a work around for you. In the short term, are you able to install the 32-bit version? Bob. PS. Glad you liked getting the Commenting badge and the welcome message 😉 ---

Hi, I think you are trying to execute the installer as a script instead of a binary. I usually just: `chmod +x PowerVRSDKSetup-3.1.run-x64 sudo ./PowerVRSDKSetup-3.1.run-x64` Notice that I do not use bash, sh or any other shell. Cheers, Guillem ---

GuillemV, I had changed to executable, but I am newb enough to have not thought to run it without “sh” - it is installing now - thanks! ---

I spoke too soon - During install, I have the following problem. The Dialog box says: > Error Unable to download component PVRScope: Component file version does not match Then it wants to exit the installation program. I think it may be a proxy issue, but I am not sure yet. ---

Hi, Have you had any luck downloading the package yet, or are you still hitting this error? Thanks, Joe ---

I ran `sudo ./PowerVRSDKSetup-3.1.run-x64` and went through all the setup questions with the minimally suggested options, and I also set up the proxy for my company. On component 3 / 42 (42 - that’s funny - didn’t notice that before), it says: Unable to download component PVRScope: Component file version does not match. I am on Linux Mint 15 and I am up to date on updates. ---

Strange. Can you share the details of the selection you’ve made during installation, i.e. selected packages, target API & target OS? Thanks, Joe
