I am new when it comes to Ubuntu but have worked with it a little in the past but am having a problem trying to install Xeams on Ubuntu 16.04 x64.

I downloaded the distribution file, made sure it was executable and ran the Install.sh file as root but get the following messages:

[.] Installing Xeams.
[.] Please specify, installation directory or leave blank for default
Please enter (e.g. /opt/):
[.] Installation directory = /opt/
[.] Unzipping Xeams.tar.gz file... [OK]
[.] Extracting Xeams.tar file...[OK]
[.] Configuring Startup Script...[OK]
[.] Getting Operating System Info:
./Install.sh: line 467: [: too many arguments
[FAILED]
**************** WARNING: Xeams could not be configured at boot because there is no startup program found *************
[.] Configuring Xeams to start on boot...[.] Configuring Uninstall script...[OK]

Is the error about too many arguments caused by there not being a startup program found which I will try to solve separately or have I perhaps downloaded the wrong file or something else?

Thank you anyone for your guidance.

The installation script is responsible for two tasks:

  1. Copy necessary files in your $INSTALL_DIR, which is usually /opt/Xeams
  2. Create a script in /etc/init.d/ folder called, xeams that starts Xeams upon machine restart.

Could you please confirm if step 1 is complete. Note that if step 1 is complete, you can always start Xeams by manually running /opt/Xeams/run.sh script. The second step could run into an error if your OS uses a slightly different mechanism to launch programs on startup. If you're using programs like WebMin, you could create the launch script using that.

If you're unable to resolve this on your own, please contact our support via email.
