AWS Lightsail VPS (Ubuntu) not able to wget or curl C2 stable version for setup

[dmcsweeney]

Tried the download with curl and got 66 bytes on the c2.zip output. I cat'd the file and it showed
{"error_message":"cloudc2 firmware version -stable not found"}

Are the instructions on the C2 quickstart guide (that I posted a picture of above) correct in the URL that I should be grabbing from?

Also tried wget.. debug output:

Try using this URL instead

https://c2.hak5.org/download/latest

@dark_pyrro Thank you so so much! Their docs need a bit of an update it seems. Thanks again 🙂

It's just that "first time auto setup" one-liner in the AWS howto that is wrong. The URL in the "Installation and Setup" section of the docs is correct.

I wrote a script that downloads the latest version in a slightly different way and also sets it up as a service
