RADKit 1.7.6 Installation error

[czopfi]

I'm trying to install RADKit 1.7.6 on a newly deployed rhel 9 server (VM), and get the following error message:

$ sudo sh ./cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh
Verifying archive integrity... 100% SHA256 checksums are OK. 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing RADKit Installer for Linux 100%
./cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh: line 702: ./radkit-installer-entrypoint.sh: Permission denied

Any ideas, why the installer script is not working?

Hello czopfi,
based on the error you are getting the issue could be, your user doesn't have the install privileges on your sudoers file or one of those file privileges are missing :

1- Check the sudoers file if your user have the install priviliges, as root execute :
visudo
check if your user is added correctly : username ALL=(ALL) ALL

2- radkit installer does not have execute permissions (-rwxr-xr-x), or is not owned by your user fix this with :
sudo chmod +x ./cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh                      #grant execution permition
sudo chown $USER:$USER ./cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh     #change the file owner ($USER should be your user)

3- Ensure you're running the script in a directory where execution is allowed example ~/radkit directory could be something else in your case:
mv cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh ~/radkit/ 
cd ~/radkit/ 
sudo sh ./cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh

4- if all the requirement above is satisfied and you still getting the same error, install it using your root account and the service will run and owned by your user, (the user you set on step 2 with chown) :
su - (enter root password)
sh ./cisco_radkit_1.7.6_linux_x86_64.sh


please check the steps above, and let me know if u still facing this issue

I found another hint in the RADKIT Troubleshooting section which exactly describes my problem....
