It seems that the installer tries to download the petsc package from a source that doesn't contain it. Can you download it from somewhere else?

The script seems to use some variables that are not defined in the script, like DATE, PETSC_VERSION, SLEPC_VERSION, etc.. You can try something like

export DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
export PETSC_VERSION=3.7.5
export SLEPC_VERSION=3.7.3
export MPI4PY_VERSION=2.0.0
export PETSC4PY_VERSION=3.7.0
export SLEPC4PY_VERSION=3.7.0

and then run the script again.
