Instillation of NSO in Ubuntu 19.04 help

[rward2801]

I have followed this guide https://developer.cisco.com/docs/nso/#!getting-nso/getting-nso

but It says the folder nso-5.1 is not empty when it is. So I created folder nso-5.01 is runs and says it is completed but that folder is empty.

rw@rw-NSO:~$ sudo sh nso-5.1.0.1.linux.x86_64.installer.bin $Home/nso-5.1
ERROR ** /nso-5.1 is not empty, aborting installation

I'm pretty sure the output told you exactly where it installed this... and you're not looking in the correct place (because of "sudo")...

look...

rw@rw-NSO:~$ sudo sh nso-5.1.0.1.linux.x86_64.installer.bin $Home/nso-5.1.0
INFO Using temporary directory /tmp/ncs_installer.2891 to stage NCS installation bundle
INFO Unpacked ncs-5.1.0.1 in /nso-5.1.0
INFO Found and unpacked corresponding DOCUMENTATION_PACKAGE
INFO Found and unpacked corresponding EXAMPLE_PACKAGE

INFO SSH hostkey generated
INFO Environment set-up generated in /nso-5.1.0/ncsrc
INFO NCS installation script finished
INFO Found and unpacked corresponding NETSIM_PACKAGE
INFO NCS installation complete

and... you are in "~/nso-5.1.0"   (note the "tilda")

rw@rw-NSO:~$ cd nso-5.1.0
rw@rw-NSO:~/nso-5.1.0$ ls
rw@rw-NSO:~/nso-5.1.0$

Do a "pwd" here...

Pretty sure if you look in... "/nso-5.1.0"   (slash....) you will find your directory...

If all else fails there are the "basic Linux commands" to find things...

cd /

find . -name nso-5.1.0

(again note the "slash" ....)...

Hi there,

Shell variables are case sensitive. You are running the script referring to $Home, this is not the same as $HOME.

As a sanity check what is the output of:

sudo echo $Home

sudo echo $HOME

...this will also reveal whether running the sudo command is replacing the value of $HOME with that of the target user. ie, the files may be installed in /root/nso-5.1.0

cheers,

Seb.
