[3dem] Amira/Avizo on Ubuntu - SOLVED

[Michael Elbaum]

I found the solution. The install script unpacks first to a temporary directory, and this gets in the way of the full installation. The trick is to define the target directory first:
sudo sh Amira-640-Linux64-gcc44.bin --target /usr/local/Amira/6.4
and then to create a new one (6.4.0) when it complains that the directory already exists.

Thanks Sylvain,      I've tried by sudo and as root. The default location is /usr/local/Amira/6.4.0/. I've also tried to create that folder in advance, but it still doesn't work. I didn't have trouble with an older version (of Avizo actually) but I've erased it since and now cannot install the new one.
best,
Michael

Hi Michael,


My first guess would be that you do not have the permission to write at the desired location, however you're connected as root...


What is the installation location? /usr/local/amira ?


Did you try installing with your personnal account but with a "sudo sh amira.bin" command ?


Best,

Sylvain

Hi all.    I'm curious if anyone has seen this error (in the screenshot) when trying to install Amira 6.4.0 on Ubuntu linux. It says "The destination folder cannot be created. Do you want to choose another one?" But then it doesn't accept "Yes" for an answer!
thanks for any suggestions,
Michael
