Hi @dcrookston. The person being supported in that forum topic was a Windows user, so the information shared there was specific to Windows cmd. The set
command is used to define environment variables in Windows cmd, but on Linux the command of that name has a completely different purpose so if you follow those instructions on a Linux machine the environment variable will not be defined.
On Linux, you must use this command:
export ARDUINO_LIBRARY_ENABLE_UNSAFE_INSTALL=true
Reference:
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/export.1p.html
The methods for defining the configuration key environment variables is already documented in the Arduino CLI configuration documentation:
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/configuration/#environment-variables
So I don't think any action is needed to address this issue (we should add coverage for PowerShell since that has become the primary shell on Windows, but that is a different subject).
Describe the problem
I went to that URL and there is nothing about the setting to enable --zip-path. I searched and found this article:
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-cli-library-installing-error-enable-unsafe-install-is-false/867734
which says to set ARDUINO_LIBRARY_ENABLE_UNSAFE_INSTALL. This was already set, but I tried it anyway:
So either the error message, or the documentation, or the code, are wrong.
To reproduce
Install literally anything using the --zip-path flag.
Expected behavior
It should accept the path I gave it using --zip-path.
