Needs permissions to download

[PCdolt]

Hi, I am trying to follow the instructions on this page https://downloads.nomachine.com/download/?id=2

I am unable to get past step 1. I click to download the TAR file, select the usr directory and click ok it gives the error “Needs permissions to download” and the file never downloads.

 

Running Debian 11 Bullseye xfce 4.16

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, your non-admin browser is not letting you download to folder /usr because you don’t have write permissions. What you can do is this:

• Download the file to any other folder
• copy the file to the /usr folder with
  sudo cp nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz /usr/
• sudo tar xvzf nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz -C /usr
• sudo /usr/NX/nxserver --install

Hi, I tried the command and it returned the following.

sudo cp nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz /usr/

cp: cannot start ‘nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz’: No such file or directory

Suggestions?

I noticed you submitted this topic to the ARM category, so I’m assuming that you need a package for ARM. So first check that you are downloading the right package for the architecture you have. You can check this by running ‘uname -m’ in a terminal on the ARM device.

‘aarch64’ means you have ARMv8 and you should install this package:

https://downloads.nomachine.com/download/?id=118&distro=ARM

You can run this command from a terminal to get it:

wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/arm/v8/deb -O nomachine.deb

‘armv7l’ means that you have ARMv7, and so you should install this:

https://downloads.nomachine.com/download/?id=113&distro=ARM

You can run this from a terminal to get it:

wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/arm/v7/deb -O nomachine.deb

and then:

sudo dpkg -i nomachine.deb to install.

Yes I have the aarch64 and running the wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/arm/v8/deb -O nomachine.deb command and the 

sudo dpkg -i nomachine.deb command to install.

Its working and I am connected now replying to this message using NoMachine. Its a little laggy when I type but my local network traffic is high as I am moving 39GB to another computer on the network so will check the speed once the transfer is complete.

Thanks so much for your help I would have never got it working without your help. Hopefully my experience will help others in the future.
