Running the above commands :

rob@rob-Z97:~/Pi_lcd/lcd-master$ sh -n ./install.sh
./install.sh: 34: ./install.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected
(expecting "then")

rob@rob-Z97:~/Pi_lcd/lcd-master$ sh -n ./install.sh
./install.sh: 34: ./install.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected
(expecting "then")

rob@rob-Z97:~/Pi_lcd/lcd-master$  sh -x ./install.sh
./install.sh: 34: ./install.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected
(expecting "then")

So as there are only 33  lines in the script, would the line 34 be
hidden or something with the word "then"

Update:
I copied and pasted the 33 lines into a new file and named it instal.sh,
then ran it.
Result:no errors apart from this one during the install process:

ImportError: No module named RPi.GPIO
./instal.sh: line 15: [: =: unary operator expected
