Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Help with Community v5.0.1-13 Bare metal install

Post by Richard70 » Sun Sep 11, 2022 10:10 am

Hello,
I'm trying to install Community. When I boot on the ISO file, I get 2 options related to Eve install:
1/ install Community
2/ install Community server
I used option 2 as specified in the community cook book v5.1 (section 3.3.1, step 1).
However, from there the menus are slighty different compared to what is described in the cook book.
For instance I'm asked if I want to activate SSH.

But the main issue is that after the installation is complete and the systeme reboots, I just get the linux prompt.
running dpkg -l eve-ng states that there is no such package.

I'm stucked at step 13 (it looks like eve-setup script is not executed)

I'm probably doing something wrong but can't figure out what .
Could you please help describe the correct process ?
Thanks in advance.

looks like the cookbook is misleading.
The option "Default" should be chosen at step1 in order for Eve-setup.sh to be properly copied and executed at next reboot.

Now I have a question at step 18:
apt upgrade

I get this message:

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** issue (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?


Is the default choice correct ?

Hi Uldis,
thanks for the confirmation.
If I may, this is confusing as this is not specified in the official Cook book (page 36, step 18)
It is instead described in the HowTo https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/how-to ... t-version/
Cheers
