Install fails on AlmaLinux 8.4 #17

Closed andrewm659 closed 3 years ago

andrewm659 commented 3 years ago

Trying to install nodered on Almalinux and get the following error:

Doesn't seem to be running on RedHat, Centos, Fedora, or Oracle Linux, so quitting

I tried removing the symlink from /etc/centos-release to /etc/almalinux-release and recreating the files with the CentOS and or Red Hat release info. Still didn't work.

Is this resolved in version 16?

never heard of almalinux so never tested. Happy to consider a pull request if anyone willing to work it out.

andrewm659 commented 3 years ago

Alma Linux and Rocky Linux are the new stable clones of RedHat and or CentOS.

If you grab the actual install script and edit line 67 to include the relevant release word - then what errors do you get if you run it locally ?

Also do they use dnf or yum to install packages (line 103) ?

dnf.

I made it look like this and it worked

versions='fedora"centos"rhel"ol"almalinux"rockylinux'

Haven't tested on RockyLinux yet. But AlmaLinux works.

dceejay commented 3 years ago

did you also need to change line 103 so it picks the dnf path ?

if [ $MYOS = "fedora" ] || [ $MYOS = "almalinux" ] || [ $MYOS = "rockylinux" ]; then
