[IBMiOSS] YNT: How to install bootstrap if error says it is already installed

Managed to get it done at last, let me put in order what i have done so it may help folks



o there were already files left from past and removed by rm -fr /tmp/boots*

o uploaded two brand new files in binary to /tmp

o seen the script has no exec right and granted by chmod +x bootstrap.sh

-rw-r--r-- 1 sozl1025 0 3986986 May 6 10:53 bootstrap.sh

o gave it a try and success



As someone here in the group said before, we blindly do things with OSS and are still learning

Connected by ssh client this time



$ chmod 777 bootstrap.sh

$ ls -la /tmp/boots*

-rwxrwxrwx 1 sozl1025 0 3986986 May 6 01:05 bootstrap.sh

-rwxrwxrwx 1 sozl1025 0 511795200 May 6 01:24 bootstrap.tar



Running the following command, i see the "invalid multibyte character" message disappeared, so there is one message left to resolve



$ /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh /tmp/bootstrap.sh --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing

/tmp/bootstrap.sh: /tmp/gtar: cannot execute Bootstrap failed $

Greetings,



I have nearly the same problem reported at https://bitbucket.org/ibmi/opensource/issues/147/how-to-install-bootstrap-if-error-says-it



Firstly ran the command of "QSH CMD('touch -C 819 /tmp/bootstrap.log; /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh /tmp/bootstrap.sh --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing > /tmp/bootstrap.log 2>&1')" and received the message of "Command ended normally with exit status 1"



Took Kevin Adler's recommendation and uploaded the bootstrap.sh and bootstrap.tar.z files in binary then ran the command of "/QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh /tmp/bootstrap.sh --yes-this-is-unsupported-but-i-know-what-i-am-doing" from qsh, but no luck



Here is the contents of /tmp/bootstrap.log file:

************Beginning of data**************

/tmp/bootstrap.sh: invalid multibyte character

/tmp/bootstrap.sh: /tmp/gtar: cannot execute Bootstrap failed ************End of Data********************



What is the reason to first message "invalid multibyte character" exactly and how to overcome it?



Any help would be really appreciated
