The jython bash script contains a line if expr "$link" : '/' > /dev/null; then This is correct for the Implementation of expr which comes with Linux, but does not work on Mac (and likely on BSD either). The reason is that the Mac expr does not permit a regexp which looks syntactically like an operator. This is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/expr.1.html Solution: Replace this line by if expr "$link" : '[/]' > /dev/null; then
