error: sorry something went wrong during download illustratorCC17.tgz

Please help me

Step 1: Download the tgz from this site: https://victor.poshtiban.io/p/gictor/illustratorCC/illustratorCC17.tgz and save to the folder where you git cloned illustrator.

Step 2: cd into scripts (a folder inside the folder where you git cloned illustrator.), then edit the illustratorSetup.sh using nano or vim or something. Change it so it matches the script below: (Only difference between this and the original is line 66-68 are commented out and line 69 has been changed to get the tgz from the git cloned folder.

Please reply if you have any problems.

Thanks @Shovelz 😍️😍️, Its Worked.

[Nasir1999]

By the way can we install the latest one? Rather than 2017 version of Adobe illustrator?

[Shovelz]

I'm not sure. I'm content with '17, but If you can find a later version that's cracked then changing the script to install that file should work.

[Nasir1999]

OK, Got it. Thanks

[rbeto97]

thank you genius!!!!!! this worked like a charm on Fedora Linux 35

[anishniroula]

thank you very much

[shubhamkinhjghwdhfd]

my script was same but i don't know how to save it. and please define next step how to do setup . i also face same pronlem and i request to you please pin your answer........
thank you....

and one more thing what you wants to tell us profit......

[Shovelz]

If you use Nano at the bottom of the screen it show the commands ( ^ is CTRL and the other symbol should be ALT) I know on my computer it's CTRL + O to write and save, then CTRL + X to exit. The script is meant to fix the downloading of the file so that you can start the installation on the read me of this repository. I'm a bit new to Github, so I have no clue how to pin answers sorry.

After the change at the code above and these instructions I got now:

package wine is installed... package md5sum is installed... /home/victor/.illustratorCC17/prefix directory exists deleting it... create /home/victor/.illustratorCC17/prefix directory... wine variables exported... please install mono and gecko packages then click on OK button prefix configured... set dark mode for wine... /home/victor/.illustratorCC17/resources directory exists deleting it... create /home/victor/.illustratorCC17/resources directory... extract IllustratorCC... create /home/victor/.illustratorCC17/IllustratorCC17 directory... tar (child): ../illustratorCC17.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now error: sorry something went wrong during illustrator installation

How could I handle it now??

[Shovelz]

I'm pretty sure you've put the illustratorCC17.tgz in the wrong place or not at all. What the script is saying is: get the file illustratorCC17.tgz from the parent directory of the directory the setup script is in. Just put the illustratorCC17.tgz in the same directory as the script and change local filepath="../$filename" to local filepath="$filename"

[VictorGimenez]

It worked @Shovelz!! I realized that the problem was that I extracted the content of the .tgz compressed folder in the illustratorCClinux folder instead let directly in the illustratorCClinux folder, TYSM!!

[danicotillas]

Please reply if you have any problems.
Hi @Shovelz
I've done this and I was able to install, apparently. The problem is that the program doesn't start. It keeps thinking about to open but it doesn't finally. My folder looks like:

Any idea what can the problem be?

Thanks!

Use this link instead: https://downloads.runebase.io/illustratorCC17.tgz

Alternative route:
If the link doesn't work in the future you could pirate it and use Wine to emulate, which is essentially what this script is doing. If you go to https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=20 you can see the best versions of illustrator that work. All you need to do is install wine and wine tricks on your system (distro dependent) then cd into the pirated illustrator directory and run the setup or app .exe with wine in your terminal E.G wine setup.exe Make sure your not pirating a ISO cause I've found it to be a pain in the arse when using Wine, pirate a setup.exe or a pre-installed folder with everything in it.

If you have problems with missing components use wine tricks to install missing components. For wine tricks click "Select the default wineprefix" then you can click "Install a Windows DLL or component".

I'm not sure what components may be missing in wine tricks, but for your general system I think you need mono and gecko like this bash script uses.
