Install script fails when piped through bash (TTY error, no workaround documented) #3275

@troopdegen

Description

@troopdegen

Severity: Medium — blocks installation with no clear guidance

Discovered: 2026-05-06 during tutorial development (Nebius Token Factory + NemoClaw integration)

Description

The documented install command curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash fails with:

[ERROR] Interactive third-party software acceptance requires a TTY.

Piping curl into bash loses the TTY. The quickstart does not mention this or the workaround.

Workaround

curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash -s -- --yes-i-accept-third-party-software

Expected fix

Document the --yes-i-accept-third-party-software flag in the quickstart, or detect the missing TTY and print the workaround automatically.
