Install sh file command not found

Hi I'm 100 percent new to linux and ssh. I'm currently having trouble getting a command to run via ssh on my raspberry pi 3. The operating system I have installed is OSMC. I've been following the instructions laid out here: https://zatarranl.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/howto-setup-a-spotify-connect-web-server-on-a-raspberry-pi-with-osmc/ and I'm at step 4. This is where I've run into trouble. The commands listed:

curl -O curl -OL https://github.com/Fornoth/spotify-connect-
web/releases/download/0.0.3-alpha/spotify-connect-web.sh3
chmod u+x spotify-connect-web.sh
./spotify-connect-web.sh install


None of the commands past the first work unless I changed the reference to the sh file from spotify-connect-web.sh to spotify-connect-web.sh3. Still the last command doesn't seem to be working. It gives me this error message when performed:

./spotify-connect-web.sh3: line 1: Not: command not found

The site that you got the instructions from displays a number following each link in the article for some reason. As a result, you have an erroneous number at the end of your URL, and you're getting a 404 "Not found" error from GitHub when you try to access the URL. Curl is writing the words "Not found" into its output file, and you're trying to execute the resulting file as a shell script:

bash-3.2$ curl -O curl -OL https://github.com/Fornoth/.../spotify-connect-web.sh3
curl: Remote file name has no length!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 9 0 9 0 0 44 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 44
bash-3.2$ ls
spotify-connect-web.sh3
bash-3.2$ cat spot*
Not Found


Removing the "3" from the end produces the result that you're probably expecting:

bash-3.2$ curl -O curl -OL https://github.com/Fornoth/.../spotify-connect-web.sh
^- no "3"
curl: Remote file name has no length!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 612 0 612 0 0 2334 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 2335
100 531 100 531 0 0 1050 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1050
bash-3.2$ ls
spotify-connect-web.sh
bash-3.2$ head spot*
#!/bin/bash
set -e

DIR=~/spotify-connect-web-chroot
...


I will also note that the version of the spotify-connect-web script that you're trying to download is out of date. See this page.
