I have downloaded marvinbeans-5_1_04-linux.sh on my windows laptop and then scp to my linux server. Below is the message I get when I try to install marvinbeans. I have downloaded the installer again and have the same error message. I have tried to use wget from my linux server to download marvinbeans but I can't. Any help would be appreciated.





$ sh marvinbeans-5_1_04-linux.sh





gunzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format





I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted.


If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you


transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are


using binary mode.

The installer (on the ChemAxon site) is not corrupt.


When you transfered it among different operating systems, the downloaded file is modified.


"marvinbeans-5_1_04-linux.sh" is a binary file but your operating system handled as a text file.


The error message that the installer dropped, says what is the problem and what you should do:

By the way, you can not access the downloadable files on ChemAxon site with wget command (because of security reason).
