When doing a fresh installation of RMCobol 12.19 the install.sh fails to find the eula.txt.  I see it in a subdirectory and copied it to the installation directory just incase it was a pathing issue but still install fails to get past that point.

Assuming this is Linux, find the subdirectory that contains INSTALL.sh (upper case is significant).  Change into that directory and run

./INSTALL.sh.  

Perhaps that will work.

UPDATE:  This is wrong info.  Apologies for incorrect info in this post.  Was extrapolating from a different product...

Thanks for reply, I did try to run it from the directory where install.sh is located.  I also copied the eula.txt to that folder just in case it was a pathing issue but still no luck.   Yes this is Ubuntu linux rel 22   going to try a support ticket and if they help me figure it out I will post answer here since this is a non starter if cannot even run the installation.

Thanks for reply, tried that and copied eula.txt file to the installation folder in case it was a pathing problem.  No luck and yes this is ubuntu linux 22 fresh install up to date.

Are you installing as root/superuser permissions?

Are you installing as root/superuser permissions?  

turns out didnt like my license file because it was for 32 bit not 64 bit.  Working with a support case on fixing that.  I changed to 32 bit and it got farther down the install but failed to validate the license.  So what I was doing is right just wrong version of the license.

Bit-ness seems to be an issue.  I just got done installing 32-bit Relativity DataServer, on a 64 bit machine.  I had to bypass the install.sh script and install from a lower directory because install.sh saw 64-bit architecture and could not find the installation artifacts for 32-bit.  Support reports this probably will get fixed in v12.20.  RM/COBOL has a different install scheme, but still...
