Hyperworks 2021.2 Linux Installtion Error

Roxana_21213

Hi,
I just downloaded the install file and hotfix for the Hyperworks 2021.2 suite.

The installation script correctly run through and there is nothing suspicious in the logs. However, when I start the program from

./INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/script/hwx

I receive the following errors:

INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/scripts/hw: 101: /home/benutzerin/2021.2/altair/hwdesktop/scripts/invoke/common.sh: [[: not found
INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/scripts/hw: 125: [[: not found

INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/scripts/hw: 318: [: hw: unexpected operator

INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/scripts/hw: 318: [: hw: unexpected operator

INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/scripts/hw: 318: [: hw: unexpected operator

INSTALL_PATH/hwdesktop/scripts/hw: 331: export:0x8400038: bad variable name

I cannot identify the problem in the Hyperworks logs.
Does someone have an idea what the probelm could be?

Thank you in advance,
Roxana

Ok, I think I found out the issue.  Just change shebang in the script from

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/bash

and the errors go away.

Hi Roxana and Nishant!!

I am having the same issue. Did you handle to work out??

Any help will be handy!!! Thank you in advance.

Dear Alberto ,

 

as I mentioned earlier, these errors are due to the script having a shell shebang. Either you can change the shebang as per my earlier reply or you can create a symlink of sh pointing to bash in the /usr/bin/

 

I hope this helps.
