I am trying to set up Babun, a terminal emulator (see http://babun.github.io/). However, I am having difficulty simply installing it, getting the following error message: 

The system cannot find the batch label specified - CHECKTARGET

I am following the install instructions from the github page, which are:

"Just download the dist file, unzip it and run the install.bat script. After a few minutes babun starts automatically. The application will be installed to the %USER_HOME%\.babun directory."

I have run them by going to the directory in the command prompt and then just typing in install.bat. I have also tried dragging the install.bat file into the terminal.

What do I need to do in order to run install.bat successfully?

Thanks for your help!

  • Did you edit `install.bat` ? Open it in Notepad and search for the label name it says is not there, maybe someone made a typo. – foxidrive Jul 15 '14 at 14:49
  • @foxidrive, I didn't edit the file, but I will give it a go. How would I find out the label name? – maudulus Jul 15 '14 at 14:50
  • Search for part of the name it displays. Maybe there is a space in the wrong place which breaks the label. – foxidrive Jul 15 '14 at 14:51
  • Does the `install.bat` file happen to have *nix line-endings? Check out this question: [Windows batch file - The system cannot find the batch label specified](http://stackoverflow.com/q/232651/1380680) – Reinier Torenbeek Jul 15 '14 at 23:42

You have probably downloaded the source instead of the install dist. Try downloading from here: http://babun.github.io/ and run the install.bat provided in that download.

  • I ran into this problem and spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out where the directories were that the install.bat pointed to. Then I realized I downloaded the source instead of the install. – Jared S. Jun 18 '15 at 17:06
