Problems with lein installation in a macbook

Question

I'm trying to install lein in my new macbook (osx 10.8.2) following the tutorial on https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen

When executing the lein script, I'm getting this error:

/bin/lein: line 1: {rtf1ansiansicpg1252cocoartf1187cocoasubrtf340: command not found /bin/lein: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token }' /bin/lein: line 2:{\fonttbl\f0\fmodern\fcharset0 Courier;}'

The script I'm using is this one https://raw.github.com/technomancy/leiningen/preview/bin/lein

What have you done yourself to try and troubleshoot the problem? — Dennis Haarbrink, Oct 16 '12 at 12:09
I checked the script text. It is the same as the url. I'm a osx newbie, so, I don't know what I am doing. Help! :) — user828390, Oct 16 '12 at 12:39

The {rtf1 ... comes from an rtf document. I suppose you haven't copy/pasted the script from the web into a document using TextEdit? That program defaults to rtf, which could cause this problem.

You should try pasting in a 'decent' text editor. Try your IDE, or Vim or nano or something like that.

Thanks. That is what happened. I used Emacs and problem is solved now. – user828390 Oct 16 '12 at 23:43
