Please note that those instructions were a best guess from @DL6ER and not instructions on how to get beta 5 directly. You're not using the beta 5 FTL because of that.
What is interesting is if I install current public version and do an in place upgrade using same command lines from @DL6ER it works perfectly fine and shows all beta versions: Pi-hole Version vDev (release/v5.0, v4.3.2-421-gb73580f) Web Interface Version vDev (release/v5.0, v4.3.2-426-gdd7b2b20) FTL Version vDev (release/v5.0, vDev-61d67ff)
Thanks @DanSchaper for pointing me to this thread and sorry for the trouble. I guess I got fixated with what I read and bookmarked from DL6ER.
i will go thru this steps soon though I have no clue whether I should simply install current version and then follow this or some other method. I will try the read up a bit more on this forum to get my bearings
This morning I started fresh with new buster build With updates.
Tried installing current public version (4.3.2) and ended up with FTL error so restarted the process by building and running

I reinstalled raspbian buster and applied patches.
This 3rd time is the charm time somehow I ran install script by changing to root with ‘sudo -I’
All went well and product is installed.
Next I tried @DanSchaper suggestion (as root) and its still a no go to get to beta 5
root@Beta5:~# echo "release/v5.0" | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch
release/v5.0
root@Beta5:~# pihole checkout core release/v5.0
Please note that changing branches severely alters your Pi-hole subsystems
Features that work on the master branch, may not on a development branch
This feature is NOT supported unless a Pi-hole developer explicitly asks!
Have you read and understood this? [y/N] y
@DanSchaper - thank you yet again.
Your new command line worked fine and installed dev FTL. Now that I have this command I will work around to see how to get pi-hole and web up to 5
/usr/local/bin/pihole version --current
Current Pi-hole version is v4.3.2
Current AdminLTE version is v4.3.3
Current FTL version is vDev-61d67ff
Simultaneously installed new Raspbian on another RPi3B+ and got error below running command you provided earlier - curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x.
resolv.conf shows IP addresses of 2 pihole addresses on LAN that is in use currently
