Hey @mitchkm, I'm glad that you found it helpful! Yes, I made the script for the fresh installation purpose and yes, you just remove the exit 1 statement within exitError() function so that the script execution won't be stopped.

Thanks for the helpful blog post and script!

The mirror.centos.org ORBit2-2.14.17-6 links are now 404ing. Changing to the latest version, ORBit2-2.14.17-7, resolves it.

This change, along with hardcoding the current version in the path and @mitchkm's removal of the exit in exitError, are in this fork for Cypress 3.1.5:

Thanks @1083. Yes, the link is broken for Orbit2.2 (even yours too at this moment)!!. I think they all keep changing over the time (as of writing this, they're at this version). These are low level system dependencies to make the cypress work. You always have to test the script and have to make the fix if there are any glitches!
