If the install command for Call Center Dashboards isn't working, it might be due to a common issue with the formatting of hyphens in the command.
Here's what you need to check and correct:
Incorrect Hyphens Usage: The install command requires double hyphens (--) before the parameters CompanyDomain and CompanyID. If you are using a single long dash (–) instead of double hyphens, the command will fail.
Copy-Paste Issues from Emails: When you copy the command from an email or document, particularly from Microsoft Office applications, the double hyphens (--) can be automatically converted to a single long dash (–). This subtle change can prevent the installation command from working.
How to Fix It
Manually Correct Hyphens: After pasting the command into your terminal or command prompt, manually check and replace any single long dashes (–) with double hyphens (--) before the CompanyDomain and CompanyID parameters.
Example Correction: If the pasted command looks like this:
install-command –CompanyDomain example.com –CompanyID 12345
You should correct it to:
css
install-command --CompanyDomain example.com --CompanyID 12345
Avoiding Formatting Issues: Use Plain Text Editors: Paste the command into a plain text editor (like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on macOS in plain text mode) first. This prevents automatic formatting changes and allows you to verify and correct the hyphens before pasting it into your terminal.
Disable Smart Dashes: In your email or word processing software, look for settings related to "smart dashes" or "typographical replacements" and disable them. This stops the conversion of double hyphens to long dashes.
Verify the Entire Command: After correcting the hyphens, double-check the rest of the command for any other issues such as extra spaces, missing parameters, or incorrect syntax.
By ensuring you use double hyphens (--) instead of a single long dash (–), you should be able to run the install command for Call Center Dashboards successfully.
