Install eIQ Toolkit on Ubuntu

[MaskedBit]

The last discussion of installing eIQ Toolkit was back in 2023, around eIQ Toolkit v1.8.0.  I'm trying to install eIQ Toolkit v1.16.0 on Ubuntu.  The installation appears to succeed.  The eIQ Toolkit User Guide starts with the eIQ Portal home screen ... but neglects to mention how one launches the application.  While that's probably platform dependent, it's information that would be very helpful for users.

After installation, trying to launch from the application icon produces no result.  Launching from the command line with `/opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.16.0/eiq-portal` yields the error:
```
[33591:1001/121907.446132:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.16.0/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
```
(despite the fact that /opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.16.0/chrome-sandbox is, indeed, owned by root and has mode 4755 set).  Launching with `/opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.16.0/eiq-portal --no-sandbox` yields a few screens of error messages and kernel warnings.

Obviously something's not set up right.  Any advice on how to clear things up and get the eIQ Toolkit running?

Hello MaskedBit,

Which Ubuntu version are you using? The recommended version is Ubuntu 20.04

Once installed you should be able to start the eIQ portal with the following commands:

<eIQ_Toolkit_install_dir>\bin\eiqenv.sh
<eIQ_Toolkit_install_dir>\eiq-portal

Gustavo,

My system is Ubuntu 24.04.3, which might be part of the problem.  Alas, here's what I get:
```
sboylan@Woden:/opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.16.0$ ./bin/eiqenv.sh
sboylan@Woden:/opt/nxp/eIQ_Toolkit_v1.16.0$ ./eiq-portal

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
```

Running with --no-sandbox gets a bit further:  the GUI starts to launch, but then crashes with over 200 lines of log messages and C and Python stack dumps.

Hello MaskedBit,

I couldn’t find anything related to this chrome-sandbox error in internal documentation, but there seems to be similar reports of chrome-sandbox interfering with certain IDEs and applications that have a GUI.

It seems that some users have changed the owner and permissions of chrome-sandbox to root and 4755

sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

Albeit I wasn’t able to test it, and you would need to find the location of chrome-sandbox.

Gustavo
