linux (ubuntu) installation help #45

Open jacksund opened 1 month ago

jacksund commented 1 month ago

Hello! I'm having trouble following the Install guide.pdf and readme.txt could use some help with installing the CLI on ubuntu/linux. Could someone help with the installation steps?

Here's where I'm currently at:

  1. Downloaded source files OPERA2.9_CL_mcr.tar.gz and unpacked them
  2. Ran the following command: 
    sudo ./OPERA2.9_mcr_Installer.install -mode silent -agreeToLicense yes
  3. (I'm stuck here) The command completed successfully, but I'm not seeing any executable file or bin folder. Restarting my terminal also doesn't add the opera command to my PATH. The readme.txt mentions bash scripts like a run_OPERA.sh, but I don't see these. The rest of the information in there is difficult to follow too...

Thanks in advance for any help 😄 (and sorry if I'm missing something obvious!)

For others that land here, I figured this out. The installation creates a folder at /usr/OPERA and the executable + run_OPERA.sh script are within /usr/OPERA/application. The path for the matlab run time that you need is /usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Runtime/v912 (the readme.txt explains what to do with this).

If others are interested, I have a linux-based docker image for OPERA now 🚀
