Question: Unable to install archivebox in a Digital Ocean Ubuntu machine

See original GitHub issue

I’ve installed all the dependencies, but when I run

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/master/bin/setup.sh | sh

I get this message saying archivebox not found. What do I do?

    This is a helper script which installs the ArchiveBox dependencies on your system using homebrew/aptitude.
    You may be prompted for a password in order to install the following:

        - git
        - python3, python3-pip, python3-distutils
        - curl
        - wget
        - youtube-dl
        - chromium-browser  (skip this if Chrome/Chromium is already installed)

    If you'd rather install these manually, you can find documentation here:
        https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Install
