Apache Ant BINARY download is missing a BINARY file? - linux

Failing to simply copy a binary to linux machine. Wow! I feel stupid today! Below is the list of files in the binary package's tar.gz, as downloaded from default mirror and utah.edu:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ec2-user ec2-user 10321 Apr 9 2016 ant
-rw-r--r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 7472 Apr 9 2016 ant.bat

-rw-r--r-- 1 ec2-user ec2-user 1817 Apr 9 2016 runrc.cmd
Am I missing something? All I see is a DIRECTORY named "ant". Obviously this won't run as expected by supremely simple "INSTALL" instructions (primarily written for benefit of Windows users, summarized):
"-Add the bin directory to your path.
-Set the ANT_HOME environment variable
-You can check the basic installation with opening a new shell and typing ant."
If I need to run one of these files to "Install" the binary maybe the instructions could mention it. As it is this looks to me like (again) like developers high on 'dozes forgetting about the other OS.

I see a shell script called ant not a directory. OK, less flippant. The binary distribution contains a the shell script and a bunch of binary jars. You actually do add the bin folder to your PATH and runant. "install" means, extract the tarball wherever you want and set up the environment.

bash: line : docker: command not found

I am using jenkins in a docker container and would like to start another instance, whenever I try to use docker command like
docker run -t -i ap/dashboard /bin/bash
I get this error:
bash: line 61: docker: command not found
How do I navigate to another container or solve this error?
I can clearly see that the vm creator was able to use the docker command by reading the /root/.ash_history

I tried many docker commands without hope
is it because that I'm already inside the container??
Try with docker run -t -i ap/dashboard /bin/ash.
Maybe your container does not use bash so you should try with /bin/sh which is a symcolic link to the default installed shell processor.

Installation Of Cassandra

I have download cassandra via terminal but problem is where are the other folders like data, conf, lib, doc etc.
i can see only some files as shown in figure i.e Click here
where is the other folders ?
By "download cassandra via terminal" and your screenshot, I'll assume that you installed Cassandra via apt-get.
From the Apache Cassandra project Wiki, section on Installation from Debian packages:
The default location of configuration files is /etc/cassandra.
The default location of log and data directories is /var/log/cassandra/ and /var/lib/cassandra.
As for the lib directory, check how your $CASSANDRA_HOME is being set:
$ grep CASSANDRA_HOME /etc/init.d/cassandra
CASSANDRA_HOME=/usr/share/cassandra
$ ls -al /usr/share/cassandra/

Touch command. permission denied

I was able to connect to my school server via SSH. I had an assignment in which I was supposed to use the touch command to create a new file. Yet it keeps returning permission denied. Others were able to do the same thing. Though why do I keep getting this error?
Below is what was the input from the terminal.

EDIT:
Here is what I see after trying touch today in /home
So to try and create a new document in the root directory you need to be recognised as root. That means using the sudo command.
However for that you would need a password that you may not have. If you do perfect. But in any case I would not recommend adding files to the root directory.
Instead try the following:
cd home
touch today
This should work just fine and answer your question.
Still if you need/want to create today in your root directory try the following
sudo touch today
You will then be prompted for the root password that you can type (if you have it obviously)
In any case I suggest reading this which may be very helpful for you.
I wonder if this was ever truly answered.
If I was looking at it, I would try to see what the system thinks is the home directory of djaneka1, since it may have been setup partway and not completed, leaving stuff owned by root that should have been owned by djaneka1.
If you use the pwd command, and get back the "/" (root) directory there is something wrong with your setup.
The message: Could not chdir to home directory /u/d/j/djaneka1: No such file or directory
tells you it can't find your home directory.
-bash-3.2$ pwd
/
the command "pwd" revealing "/" is just an artifact of the system not being able to find your home directory.
To find what the system thinks is one's home directory,
one can search the file named '/etc/passwd' for one's login name.
I expect this is a possible result if you do that:
$ fgrep 'djaneka1' /etc/passwd
djaneka1:x:1505:1506::/u/d/j/djaneka1:/bin/bash
since it complained that it couldn't find that directory.
This needs to be fixed by someone who has more rights to the system, like root.
there is nothing djaneka1 can do a

Reading package lists... Error! on EC2

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a t1.micro on ec2. Just a moment ago I logged in, ran sudo apt-get update and got Reading package lists... Error!
I also realized that I no longer can install packages using sudo apt-get install.
Any idea what went wrong here? And how to fix it?
I have tried the answer suggested in this thread https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139441/reading-package-lists-error but that did not fix the problem. What makes things a little annoying also is the lack of error logs (or the fact I do not know where to look). For example the sudo apt-get install just fails and I do not know how to run it in verbose mode or where to look to find the specific reason why it is failing...

A restart of the instance fixed the issue. Why this worked, I cannot explain!
You can try out the below commands to fix the issue
sudo rmdir /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo apt-get update
The first command will remove the empty directory, second will create the new directory and the last command will populate the lists files.
Also, Restart your EC2 instance to make the above changes effective.

conf/hadoop-env.sh file opening in readonly mode

Well i am trying to configure a single node cluster hadoop.Now i have created a user hadoop alonside and i have installed hadoop in my usr/local/hadoop directory.
Then i have done the following commands
chown hadoop:hadoop hadoop hadoop-1.0.4
ln -s hadoop-1.04/ hadoop.
as a result when i do ls -l
it shows the following
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 2012 bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 2012 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 2012 games
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 16 13:20 hadoop -> hadoop-1.0.4/
drwxr-xr-x 13 hadoop hadoop 4096 Oct 3 2012 hadoop-1.0.4

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 16 2012 src
so hadoop 1.0.4 has hadoop as usergroup.
Now when i am entring my hadoop group using
su -hadoop
so i can change my conf/hadoop-env.sh file but it is not happening
hadoop#iu1:/usr/local$ vi conf/hadoop-env.sh
the file opens in readonly mode
i think it should be editable mode
Please help
Thanks
You need to chown recursively:
chown -R hadoop:hadoop hadoop hadoop-1.0.4
To verify file permissions do
ls -l /usr/local/hadoop/conf/
