[console] Unable to download the Drupal Console Launcher

[yookoala]

Problem/Motivation

As per the documentation stated (page source), this is the command to install the console launcher:

curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal.phar
mv drupal.phar /usr/local/bin/drupal
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/drupal

The first command is supposed to download the drupal.phar file from drupalconsole website.
But it doesn't work:

# curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal.phar
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:--  0:00:02 --:--:--     0
curl: (7) Failed connect to drupalconsole.com:443; Connection refused

If you go directly to the URL https://drupalconsole.com/installer, you'd see this:

It is always this "500 Server Error" message.

Solution

Please fix the server download path.
Or, please fix the documentation.

I am experiencing the same problem.

I'm seeing the same problem, except that every once in a while, I get a response of "Error: could not handle the request". Is there an alternate way of retrieving the launcher?

[briantully]

Still no fix or update, eh? I guess this has been abandoned? Does anyone have an alternative download link or a version they were able to download and could share it?

@enzolutions Could you check it?

[agingcodeguru]

This essentially makes this project unusable. Can someone please take a look?

[oloryn]

I've been setting up to download the launcher directly from this repository. It means I'll miss any changes made, but for the moment, that doesn't look like much of an issue.
