Ubuntu MCUXpresso IDE install fail - ./install.sh: Permission denied

[daniel_fudge]

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS on a x86_64 Intel i3.

When I try to install the MCUXpresso IDE I get the following error.

sudo ./mcuxpressoide-11.10.0_3148.x86_64.deb.bin

Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.
Uncompressing mcuxpressoide installer 100%
./mcuxpressoide-11.10.0_3148.x86_64.deb.bin: 1: eval: ./install.sh: Permission denied

The file has 755 permisions but it appears a script is created that does not have sufficient permissions...?

Hi @daniel_fudge 

It seems there might be an issue with the temporary files or directories created during the installation process. You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Extract the Installer Manually:
Extract the contents of the .bin file to a directory and manually set the permissions for the install.sh script.
mkdir mcuxpresso_installer
cp mcuxpressoide-11.10.0_3148.x86_64.deb.bin mcuxpresso_installer/
cd mcuxpresso_installer
chmod +x mcuxpressoide-11.10.0_3148.x86_64.deb.bin
./mcuxpressoide-11.10.0_3148.x86_64.deb.bin --target .
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

2. Check and Change Ownership:
Ensure that the script has the correct ownership and permissions.
sudo chown $USER:$USER install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

3. Run Installer with Root Privileges:
Run the installer script directly with root privileges.
sudo bash ./install.sh

Hope this will help you.

Thank you Hang. I finally had a change to reinstall Ubuntu and retry. It worked. Thank you very much.

Thank you Hang.

I was trying to go down that path but I got stuck on the "Extract the contents of the .bin file". How do you extract the files? tar doesn't work.

My second theory was there is a permissions prompt that is not coming up or was being answered "no" in the process. I restarted and also tried the LinkServer deb.bin file and got the same error there. All other deb files install properly.

Hi @daniel_fudge 

1. Extract the Installer:
• Extract the .deb.bin file to access its contents:
./mcuxpressoide-<version>.x86_64.deb.bin --target <target-directory> --noexec

2. Run the Install Script:
• Navigate to the target directory and run the install script manually:
cd <target-directory>
sudo ./install.sh

Hope this will help you
