[AEON] HOW-TO download/install/update/test Aeon from its Git repository

That's definitely an interesting symptom. Try deleting the Aeon directory you created to house the git repository, and start the process over. Perhaps something is corrupted in that directory.

well.last night I started it again and it got to 75% this time then stopped mid download for some weird reason

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. I'd just download the files from the web site, extract them to the folder, and then try "git pull". It will detect that you have the latest versions of the files, so you won't need to download anything at that point. In the future hopefully running "git pull" just to get updates will work out.

ah,wait..so if i extract all the files I can grab from the github via the zipfile I could just go into that dir and try a git pull??will try right now

Yeah, it will just detect that you already have them and give you an "Already up to date" message. Don't forget to get the font pack as that is not distributed via github.

is there some additional structure i need to add to the folder ?? git tells me it's not a git folder when i extract the zip to a new folder and try to run git pull ;/

You still need to initialize the folder with the steps I posted above. Just cancel out of the "git pull" function that always fails on you, and manually copy the files into that directory you created with the guide.

this is what it looks like after i cancelled out of the git clone etc..


i let the clone create the folder then copied the stuff from the zip into the folder..im guessing I somehow didn't do it right :/
thx for the help btw

I think the problem has to do with the original "checkout" command you run to switch branches. As you can see from the prompts after that, the branch is still "master". What operating system are you running?
