Runuser Error on debian 11

[Barry Awure]

Hi Team,

I ran into this error while setting up wazuh. Kindly help in resolution.

root@mysoc:/etc/wazuh-indexer# /usr/share/wazuh-indexer/bin/indexer-security-init.sh
/usr/share/wazuh-indexer/bin/indexer-security-init.sh: line 104: runuser: command not found

My installation is on Debian 11. 

I have installed wazuh-indexer 4.3

Hi awurebarry:

I hope you are fine.

I have tried in my lab and the command works fine.

First, ensure that file is there and has the proper permissions to be executed:

# ls -l  /etc/wazuh-indexer# /usr/share/wazuh-indexer/bin/

The "runuser" command might not be available in the default Debian installation.

Please, consider that Wazuh supports these operating systems:

Wazuh indexer - Installation guide · Wazuh documentation

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Same issue here. It turns out that /sbin is not in the path by default on Debian 11 so just run

export PATH=/sbin:$PATH

You can persist by adding it to /etc/profile
