When I enter sudo ./bpi.tools -u -U I get command not found. I have not trouble up to that point. Help anyone…

HI: Try again:

sudo ./bpi.tools -u -U ==> sudo ./bpi-tools -u -U

$ git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools.git8
$ cd bpi-tools
$ sudo ./bpi-tools -u -U

It failed again. I copied the first line and hit enter. It asked for a user name and a password. The (.get8) is different. Is that a typo on the response?
