Replicate Installation

[Ginni]

I am currently attempting to install Qlik Replicate on a Linux system and have encountered some difficulties. I used the following commands as part of the installation process:

rpm -ivh areplicate-2024.5.0-563.x86_64.rpm

rpm -i areplicate-2024.5.0-563.x86_64.rpm

Unfortunately, I received an error message, and despite my efforts to troubleshoot the issue.

I have not been able to resolve it. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions you could provide to help me overcome this challenge.

Hello @Ginni ,

This error usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:

1.  Permission issues – Ensure you have sufficient privileges (the file mask is 644 by default). You may try the installation by "root" account, or "sudo", like:

     sudo rpm -ivh areplicate-2024.5.0-563.x86_64.rpm

2.  Another process is using rpm – A package management process (like yum, dnf, or another rpm command) might already be running.

     ps aux | grep -E 'yum|dnf|rpm'

3.  Stale lock file – If no package manager is running, but the lock file still exists, remove it:

     sudo rm -f /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock

     Please take note: (1) If no active processes are found, removing the lock file is safe. (2) If the system has recently crashed or been interrupted during an RPM operation, the lock file may have been left behind incorrectly.

Hope this helps.

John.
