I am having the error described below while installing Encompass on Ubuntu, it asks for root but then tells me not to run the .bin in root. Can someone offer some insight? Windows runs fine, problem only shows on Ubuntu.


pablo@System76:~$ '/home/pablo/Downloads/Encompass-0.5.0_Linux_x86_64-Installer.bin'

Encompass has been extracted to /tmp/Encompass-0.5.0
This install script will be available at /tmp/Encompass/0.5.0/linux_installer.sh

Would you like to install Encompass to:
1) /opt/encompass
2) /home/pablo/encompass
3) Bail - Don't install Encompass!

Obviously Encompass-0.5.0_Linux_x86_64-Installer.bin has successfully run (as user pablo) and created the installation script /tmp/Encompass/0.5.0/linux_installer.sh.

Try to run that one with sudo:

Code: 
sudo /tmp/Encompass/0.5.0/linux_installer.sh
 
Ok bear with me cause I'm not that good with Linux, seems to be a command missing, if I run that line it returns an error.
 
Solved!

I did some terminal magic and it worked like a charm :).

Pablo.
