Satnog Setup failutre

Hi,
I am new to Satnogs, started with a setup yesterday, but cant get it to work.
I have closely followed the here:

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2.
I have user the image as per the Satnogs download site. The sudo satnogs-setup fails.
I have manually updated the Rasbian build, which is currently:

cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME=“Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)”
NAME=“Raspbian GNU/Linux”
VERSION_ID=“9”
VERSION=“9 (stretch)”
VERSION_CODENAME=stretch
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

pi@SomersetWest:~ $ sudo satnogs-setup
sudo: unable to resolve host SomersetWest

From the wiki I assume I should be getting some form of menu for the setup.
Can someone help please.

Hello @rikus !

It seems that you are using an older image for the RPi. Can you link on what you downloaded?
Latest image links and instructions can be found here:

Hi Pierros,
Yes, it seems that between various sites for setup I got the wrong image. I have updated to the last one on Github and is now in the process if final installation. With a bit of luck I should have the unit up and running by tonight.

Thank you
