Need some help installing roonserver.
I’m a complete linux novice but managed to get ubuntu server 16.04.1 running on an intel NUC.
I’ve got as far as step 1, using curl to download the installer script, which seems to go ok.
But when I try “chmod +x roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh” I get, “chmod cannot access/ no such file or directory exists”.
Any advice would be appreciated
after the curl step type
$ ls
what do you get?
Could you type the commands
pwd
ls -l
and post what they output?
The “pwd” command prints the current working directory. The “ls -l” command gives a bit more info about the files in the current directory than simple “ls”.
I’ve done a similar installation last week, but with Ubuntu desktop because it seemed a bit easier to install at the time and I use Ubuntu desktop at work so I’m pretty familiar with it (I might move to server if I have time to mess around a bit more).
After ls I get “music share”
pwd
ls-1 gives the same answer
The command I suggested is “ell ess space minus ell”. Unfortunately the default sans serif font on this forum does not distinguish between “one” and “ell”.
OK after ls-l I get
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 28 15:19 music
drwxrwxr-x 2 russell russell 4096 Jul 28 17:00 share
Many thanks for the help
so the issue here is that you are either not downloading the installer or it downloads to somewhere that you aren’t
try this
$ cd ~
$ pwd
what do you get?
Hum… That looks a bit strange. Can you also post the output of
pwd
After
$ cd ~
$ pwd
I get
/home/russell
ok now do the curl step
then
$ ls
again and post everything that shows
Copied from the bottom of the curl to ls
if [ x$1 == xuninstall ]; then
uninstall
else
install
fi
russell@Music:~$ ls
music share
ok my bad i wasn’t clear
$ cd ~
this puts you ih your home directory, /home/russell
$ pwd
just confirms you are there
if you then run
$ curl -O http://download.roonlabs.com/builds/roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh
it should download the installer to /home/russell
then
$ ls
should show the installer
Yes that worked
I’m in!!
Thank you so much
Enjoy
