I am working on Ubuntu windows application. I want to use a tool and I have downloaded the file and install it is in /usr/local/bin. I want to access the tool from anywhere and for that I have write an alias in bashrc file. Now, while I call the tool it generating error. Kindly help me with this.

How I installed mgltools:

  398  tar xvzf mgltools_i86Linux2_1.5.6.tar.gz
  399  cd mgltools_i86Linux2_1.5.6/
  400  ./install.sh

*****@DESKTOP-*****:/usr/local/bin/mgl-tools/mgltools_i86Linux2_1.5.6$ ls
Data.tar.gz  MGLToolsPckgs.tar.gz        README  bin      install.sh  tcl8.4
LICENSES     Python2.5_i86Linux2.tar.gz  Tools   include  lib         tk8.4

After that, I have write following alias in bashrc file via vim and save it:

alias adt='sudo /usr/local/bin/mgl-tools/mgltools_i86Linux2_1.5.6/adt'

#source ~/.bashrc

When I call the tool this error is generated. 

sudo: /usr/local/bin/mgl-tools/mgltools_i86Linux2_1.5.6/adt: command not found

    I don't see 'adt' in the output of ls, so the alias points to a nonexistent file. – mikewhatever Oct 26 '19 at 06:38

    Pictures of text are very hard to read; esp. a black terminal window within white background of askubuntu. Please copy/paste the text as you have in other parts of your question. – guiverc Oct 26 '19 at 07:26
  • I have changed the pictures, I hope it will be better now. – Rhea Oct 26 '19 at 11:45

I just tested it in Ubuntu 18.04 VirtualBox:

wget http://mgltools.scripps.edu/downloads/downloads/tars/releases/REL1.5.6/mgltools_x86_64Linux2_1.5.6.tar.gz
tar xvzf mgltools_x86_64Linux2_1.5.6.tar.gz
cd mgltools_x86_64Linux2_1.5.6/
sudo ./install.sh -d /opt/mgl/
sudo cp initMGLtools.sh /opt/mgl/

Then add to /etc/bash.bashrc

export PATH=/opt/mgl/bin:$PATH
source /opt/mgl/initMGLtools.sh

But can you may test it directly:

/opt/mgl/bin/adt or adt

  • I see, there is no adt file. So, what should I do know I follow the installation instructions carefully. I don't understand what's the exact issue. I am working with this tool from last 3 years but I was using SUSE linux at that time and now Ubuntu. – Rhea Oct 26 '19 at 12:37
  • @Rhea, updated my answer, it worked fine for me in 18.04. – user.dz Oct 26 '19 at 13:42

    It was a great help. I followed the above instructions still adt was not working then I come to know as I am using ubuntu subsystem so I have to download Xming. After downloading it I set the Display=:0 in /etc/environment file and finally adt command start working but after processing it generate this error "ImportError: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I don't find any solution for that, there was a solution on github but it's regarding matplot library. – Rhea Oct 26 '19 at 23:01
  • @Rhea could you edit and add an update to the question ? with full steps and error message. – user.dz Oct 27 '19 at 08:50
  • I am not familiar with Windows subsystem . AFAIK you have two, other separate issues: X graphics server and 3D OpenGL libraries. I can't help much, but could you try solutions here, https://askubuntu.com/q/993225/26246 & https://stackoverflow.com/q/22360771/724406 – user.dz Oct 27 '19 at 10:31
