I tried searching but could not find a thread. Getting an error setting up the files with the curl command.
curl http://files.fast.ai/setup/paperspace | bash
rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/.’: No such file or directory
Anyone know how to fix this?
@bernardo can you try a sudo apt-get update and a machine restart? If you are still seeing issues definitely send us the machine info (base OS, type, etc) to support@paperspace.com
Hi @dillon,
Thanks for the reply. I thought I needed to run the curl script within the Fastai template. After I realized my mistake, everything was already set up as needed. Thank you for the response. I tried to delete my post but couldn’t see how.
I have exaclty the same error when I run:
curl http://files.fast.ai/setup/paperspace | bash
How do you fix it?
If you’re using the fastai template, you don’t need to run this part. Everything is already installed. Just move ahead. 
For those that are using an AWS instance like myself (p2.xlarge), I ran into this issue as well. I just removed the following line from the bash script:
sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*.*
Created my own bash file on the server and ran the script. Fixed the issue for me.
I found a simple fix to be just create a dummy file in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d direction
sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/test.txt
Then re run the original command and now something is in there to be deleted.
Thanks for the quick fix! worked like a charm

Thanks, this one line of code solve the problem
Amazing… worked like a charm!
Thanks!
Thanks very much!!
I use fastai template but I do not think everything is already installed. For instance, there is no data folder.
