Installing Tethys on Ubuntu 14.04

[Christian Kesler]

I am trying to install tethys on a virtual box following this link: http://docs.tethysplatform.org/en/latest/installation/linux.html#create-virtual-environment-and-install-tethys-platform.

There is a problem with Step 2 Part a. The code is: source /etc/bash_completion.d/docker.

The error I'm getting is: No such file or directory. I assume this means that it cannot find the folder. I searched for the folder and it does not exist there so that is why I guess it cannot find it.

Was the folder moved somewhere as part of a recent update? Do you have any suggestions to find the folder?

Thanks

The problem is likely because docker was not installed properly in step 1. A few questions for clarification:

What version of Ubuntu are you using? The installation instructions are specifically for 14.04. If you have a later version, then installing docker is done differently.

Try installing just docker again and look for any errors:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker.io

If it installs without error or tells you that it is already installed, then try running that script again:

source /etc/bash_completion.d/docker

If that script fails to run again, then it may no longer be necessary, so you could attempt to complete the installation starting with step 2b.

Please post back with the results so other users can use this if they have similar problems.

I was using the latest version of Ubuntu. I had to download the older version 14.04 to get it to work.
