installer.sh failing with non-english locale

[beruhan]

To use EMBA, some applications must be installed and some data (database for CVS for example) downloaded and parsed.

These applications will be installed/updated:

jq Description: lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor Download-Size: 52,5 kB Error detected - status code 1 Command: echo -e "Command: $ORANGE$BASH_COMMAND$NC" Location: ./installer/helpers.sh, line 64 Stack Trace: [1] print_tool_info(): ./installer/helpers.sh, line 64 -> print_tool_info jq 1 [2] I01_default_apps_host(): ./installer/I01_default_apps_host.sh, line 24 -> I01_default_apps_host [3] main(): ./installer.sh, line 182 -> main -d

Thank you for reporting. Is it working the following:

LANG=en ./installer.sh -d

or probably as non root

LANG=en sudo -E ./installer.sh -d

[beruhan]

the same also:

[m-1-k-3]

please use in default mode only the -d parameter. The other parameters are for building the EMBA docker image

@beruhan I was able to reproduce the error and I found the issue: the variable LC_ALL is set to zh_CN.UTF-8. In /etc/default/locale comment the line, that sets the variable LC_ALL, save the file and then reboot. After the reboot, check with the command locale, that the LC_ALL is set to nothing, if it is the case, you should be able to install emba with sudo ./installer.sh -d.

I want to build emba in my own docker.my docker file as fllows: my locale file as fllows:

[m-1-k-3]

the simple way is to checkout the EMBA repo, and building it with the following command:

sudo docker-compose build --no-cache --pull

[beruhan]

a new error occured as fllows:

Manual stepping through the installer will be tough ... please try to build it as shown here https://github.com/e-m-b-a/emba/issues/1162#issuecomment-2136645627
