How to install beta server

[80srule 33]

Im using Whatbox and want to try out the beta server. 
The instructions they provide dont offer the beta. 
Thank you

HI, can it run Docker? If so then you could use that.

I dont know I just know its linux. the insutrctions say https://whatbox.ca/wiki/emby 

And I figured just changing the url would work but not sure.

[80srule 33]

So what is the URL that I would need to use for the beta linux? 
 

You would want to change the URL from https://api.github.com/repos/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/latest to https://api.github.com/repos/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/tag/4.8.0.29 or whichever beta version you want to use.

 

the one they gave does not work.

Hi, beta instructions can be found on our website:

https://emby.media/download

But I don't have an answer for you regarding Whatbox. I have not familiarized myself enough with them to be able to offer much guidance on it.

I did that and I get a wget missing url. 
I dont see instructions there just the link which I did into the command line 

wget -O embyserver-4.8.0.29.zip `curl -s https://api.github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.8.0.29/emby-server-deb_4.8.0.29_amd64.deb | awk '/browser_download_url/ && /embyserver-netcore/ {print $2;exit}' | sed 's/"//g'`
So what am I doing wrong here.

Why are you trying to download from https://api ?

Click your own link, that goes to no where.

The link you need is here 

Emby Server for Linux - Emby

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.8.0.30/emby-server-deb_4.8.0.30_amd64.deb

[80srule 33]

Yes and it still says 

get: missing URL

Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

im using this. 
 

wget -O embyserver-netcore-latest.zip `curl -s https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.8.0.30/emby-server-deb_4.8.0.30_amd64.deb | awk '/browser_download_url/ && /embyserver-netcore/ {print $2;exit}' | sed 's/"//g'`
Because in the original info to download emby to the server it is listed as this 

wget -O embyserver-netcore-latest.zip `curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/latest | awk '/browser_download_url/ && /embyserver-netcore/ {print $2;exit}' | sed 's/"//g'`
They said to simply replace the url with the one of the beta server I want. so that's what I did.

OK I got it all fixed. 
Thank you for the help. I had a dash rather than under score when running the install after download and I couldn't see it. Sometimes it takes someone else looking at it.
