scrcpy 2.1.1 release source code install script is not completely up to date - still requesting server-2.1 and consequently fails

[Alchemistapf]

Environment

• OS: Debian 12 (but irrelevant)
• scrcpy version: 2.1.1
• installation method:source code / installation script
• device model: N/A
• Android version: N/A

Describe the bug
The latest released 2.1.1 installed via the downloaded source code is installing the 2.1 server and not the 2.1.1 due to the install_release.sh file being slightly out of date.
Manually replacing the downloaded install_release.sh with the live version from the master branch worked perfectly.

Manually updating to the code below fixes the issue (the current install_release.sh at time of writing)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

BUILDDIR=build-auto
PREBUILT_SERVER_URL=https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/download/v2.1.1/scrcpy-server-v2.1.1
PREBUILT_SERVER_SHA256=9558db6c56743a1dc03b38f59801fb40e91cc891f8fc0c89e5b0b067761f148e

echo "[scrcpy] Downloading prebuilt server..."
wget "$PREBUILT_SERVER_URL" -O scrcpy-server
echo "[scrcpy] Verifying prebuilt server..."
echo "$PREBUILT_SERVER_SHA256 scrcpy-server" | sha256sum --check

echo "[scrcpy] Building client..."
rm -rf "$BUILDDIR"
meson setup "$BUILDDIR" --buildtype=release --strip -Db_lto=true

@Alchemistapf Do you know how to solve this problem? i think this is a small problem, so i don't try to ping rom1v

ago i only downloaded the install script and now downloaded the repo and tried again, it worked

[Alchemistapf]

I've seen several comments regarding this and it seems that this has always been the case and I'm not the only one to have this problem. It took me some time to fix it, and perhaps, in future, updating the install script so it works out of the box (zipped source) might help others. The software is amazingly good and it would be a shame if people couldn't use it as they couldn't solve this minor problem.

@Alchemistapf Read this comment wihich explains why the install_release.sh script may not be included in the tag, but only one commit after: #4098 (comment)

It is intended to be run from master.

Apparently when you paste the text it leaves out the backslash in line 15 , meson setup line.
