I was installing Metasploit using the script invocation for quick installation and as I pasted the script in the terminal the error

./msfinstall: line 1:syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
./msfinstall: line1: '<DOCTYPE html>'

appeared. How can I fix this?

It appears as if something is wrong with the script that you downloaded. I just tried it and it worked fine.

Run gedit ./msfinstall from the terminal (this is assuming you are still in the directory from where you ran the original command) to open the script for editing.

Delete everything there and paste this instead:

#!/bin/sh

print_pgp_key() {
  cat <<-EOF
