I'm new to Prediction.io and when I try to install it following the instruction at this page I get the following error:

bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' bash: -c: line 0: `<!DOCTYPE html>'

The command I'm executing is 

bash -c "$(curl -s )"

How can I solve this? What went wrong?

Correct syntax would be:

curl -sSL | sh

or

wget -qO- | sh

Well, the file that you're putting between the quotes, to execute as a bash command, is a 15917 byte bash script (written by Somebody Else, and you're running it without inspection, but that's off topic). If you split it up into simpler commands, you could: 

curl -s >install.sh # inspect install.sh here bash ./install.sh # if it fails, do bash -x ./install.sh rm ./install.sh
