[Solved] Failed to update YAMS CLI script

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
