Hello,
Name here is James.
I've been lurking in this fine forum and on nerdvittles for a year, maybe two. I think the idea of a pbx to play with (in my case, not for 'real world business type' use, except personal) is intriguing.
First, I successfully went the VM route on local machine. Well, successful up to the point of getting any voice recognition to work with GV. All I could ever get was the Wolfram Alph to say "minus 1" and hang up.
After days of messing with that, I followed the instructions here http://nerdvittles.com/?p=13599 for setting up a droplet on Digital Ocean.
I've made it all the way to successfully using voice recognition to retrieve the weather report for a given city or two.
I've tried the steps here: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=798
and the droplet literally says it download "xhUpJr" , and when I run the commands listed- it's a no-go. It seems like (Yes, I'm a nooooooob) that the droplet downloaded and called the file xhUpJr so to me, of course it can't find "wolframalpha-oneclick.sh" . Tried again, to download, and of course it called the file "xhUpJr.1"
I've searched the forum for 'wolfram alpha' and 'wolfram' and found one post. but was not what I needed.
I've used the search function of the nerdvittles site using the term 'wolfram alpha' as well and here is the resulting page http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?s=wolfram alpha where i have attempted
I have already gotten the app id a day or two ago, but cannot figure out how to run or install the script to the droplet. I know 'how' to insert the app-id, just can't get to the place where the scrip runs and then insert the app-id. Upload attempts of course fail from my local computer via the admin gui for trying to upload the oneclick.sh file and when I attempt to tar.gz it and upload that, it says something about not enough or not the correct directories.
So, as you can hopefully see, I'm desperately trying to help myself without asking for help. There's a ton of info between the nv website and here in the forum. I've jump and search all over the place.
So, to summarize- in respect to all of the above I've tried to get wolfram alpha working and I cannot.
Please, if possible, a list of instructions (noob version) to help me out would be much appreciated.
There are some other questions, I would probably start a new thread on, after I get the wolfram alpha thing taken care of.
Thanks for your consideration.
p.s. I see my attached screenshot appears kind of small.. so in the case the info helps, here is the output from 'status' : incredible pbx 11-12.1 for ubuntu 14 , asterisk 11.19.0 , Incredible Gui 12.0.30

Code:
To use Wolfram Alpha by phone, you first must install it. Obtain your free Wolfram Alpha APP-ID here. Then run the one-click installer: /root/wolfram/wolframalpha-oneclick.sh. Insert your APP-ID when prompted.
