Thank you! This has helped me.

I am getting an error when running this script. I was hoping for perhaps a little help. I get the following

wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: �' sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command:�'
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `�'

Which of course then does not write the the replacment variable to the config file.

@fsoto I got the same issue, then I realized the quotation marks used in the sed commands are 'curly quotes'. Simply replace them with regular double quotes and it should work.

Another installer for perspective: https://gist.github.com/cconversion/cc09b6424c12436b4a33d7e6fb553f35
Tries a few different methods, and packs a bunch of different scripts crudely into the one "All-In-One" installer; but hey it works!
