[ERROR BinaryInPath-strings]: None of the following binaries [strings] seem to be in your PATH

[davxiao]

OS: ubuntu 20.04 with latest updates

See below for path:

ubuntu 5| 4:53 [~] echo $PATH
/opt/cni/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

Basically I first ran a ./setup.sh, it failed, then I ran './cleanup.sh', it looks ok, then I ran ./setup.sh again, this time it came up with a different error message. See below for the output.

I've tried cleanup.sh then run the setup.sh doesn't work.

Thank you for reporting.
You may be hitting an Ignite issue.
I'll cross report to the Ignite repo.

[davxiao]

It is not listed as prerequisites, but do I need to install separately the following tools?

• jk 0.3.0
• footloose 0.6.3
• ignite 0.7.1
• wksctl 0.8.4

I just checked my local system I don't have any of those installed despite the setup.sh is reporting it found them... I'm a bit confused.

[chanwit]

No you don't have to.
They'll be installed automatically.

ls -al ~/.wks/bin
and you'll see they're in there.

@davxiao as a temp workaround, simply install binutils on your Ubuntu machine.
It's a pretty standard package that contains strings.

@davxiao additional install "git", and it should work with a minimal Debian 11, too.
