[Solved] Failed to update YAMS CLI script

Post by GAFAAAAA »

Hi beautiful people!

I've been struggling to get yams installed, first I didn't realise the user running the install had to be in the sudoers file, that took me a while.

Now I am getting stuck at one of the last hurdles.
During "Updating YAMS CLI configuration ..." I get;

Code: Select all

 sed: couldn't open temporary file ./sedQrDnwd: Permission denied
Failed to update YAMS CLI script

I'm at a complete loss, anyone have any ideas?

Hey @GAFAAAAA!

What OS are you using? Is it Ubuntu? If it is, what docker version are you using? Is it the Snap version? Send the output of which docker.

Also, this error comes out when the current user doesn't have permissions to write on the location where you cloned the yams installer. If you cloned it with a different user, make sure to give the right user the correct permissions.

Cheers!

Roger.

Hi Rodger,

I used Debian 12 along with the core Docker engine "/usr/bin/docker" nothing special.

I didn't own /tmp/yams !!!

Code: Select all

sudo -chown myuser:myuser /tmp/yams

I ran that and it's completed!

Thank you for your swift help
