Can't install DAML - SDK installation lock

Hi there!

I’m currently having issues installing DAML locally. I have Java 11 installed as well as the environment variable JAVA_HOME initialized. When running the following cURL locally, I get the following:

% curl -sSL https://get.daml.com/ | sh
Determining latest SDK version...
Latest SDK version is 2.6.5
Downloading SDK 2.6.5. This may take a while.

The installation is waiting for the lock indefinitely. Is there anything else I should be doing? Thanks in advance!

Hi Alan,

If it is still stalled, try cd ~ and then try daml version.

If it reports:

SDK versions:
  2.6.4
  2.6.5

It is installed and all is well.

If it does not report those versions, then:

rm -rf /Users/alan/.daml
rm -rf /Users/alan/.cache/daml

Then try the cURL command again.

Let me know how it goes.
