Tachyon Setup issue During Install of OS

Tachyon
1

Hi, I received my Tachyon today and I am trying to go through the particle tachyon setup. When I get to set 7 of downloading the OS I am getting this error.
Step 7:

Next, we'll download the Tachyon Operating System image.

Heads up: it's a large file — 3GB! Don't worry, though—the download will resume

if it's interrupted. If you have to kill the CLI, it will pick up where it left. You can also

just let it run in the background. We'll wait for you to be ready when its time to flash the device.

Operating system information:

Tachyon ubuntu 20.04 (desktop, NA region)

Version: 1.0.161

[█████████████████████████] 100% | Downloading tachyon-ubuntu-20.04-NA-desktop-

Removed invalid downloaded file: tachyon-ubuntu-20.04-NA-desktop-formfactor_dvt-1.0.161.zip

Hi,

I'm sorry you ran into an issue setting up your Tachyon. The image file looks like it didn't download correctly. I checked that the file tachyon-ubuntu-20.04-NA-desktop-formfactor_dvt-1.0.161.zip matches the expected checksum when I download it.

Let see if just deleting the downloaded file and trying setup again fixes the issue. On Mac and Linux, the file is in ~/.particle/downloads. On Windows, it's in C:\Users\<username>\.particle\downloads.

If that doesn't work, let me know what OS your using and if there's a network proxy or something else that might be interfering with downloads.

I ended up trying on an M4 Mac and it worked fine. Not sure why it didn’t work on my i9 iMac
