Installation problem
asked by kooktaeKim (2020/05/12 16:28)
Hello thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I'm trying to install Quanty on my Ubuntu desktop. I downloaded the folder(quanty_lin) for the installation and I found that the binary file “Quanty” is in it. I copied this binary to my “/bin” directory which is already appended in my PATH. But when I try to execute tutorial files, “the permission denied” message shows up. If I try to execute quanty with sudo command, the “command not found” massage shows up. Can you help me to fix this??
Regards, kooktae Kim

Dear Kooktae Kim,
This is most probably a problem with the rights on your system. Normally ~/bin would be the directory for binaries of a user and /bin the directory for the entire system. Both can work. I guess you needed root access to copy the Quanty binary to /bin and I guess that only root is allowed to execute this file. (A large number of guesses from my side)
if you open a terminal and go to your binary folder cd /bin and look at the content of this folder ls -l you should see the files their owner and the access rights you can give executable rights to all users with the command
you might need root rights to do this
If you type
you should see something of the form
The file is owned by root, but everybody can read ( r ) and execute ( x )

Wow I forgot to check the rights! I solved the problem and tutorial file works well thanks!
