This application requires Zero Install 2.8 to run

[anonymous SourceForge]

I installed the Zero Install and get the following message when I want to start the dispcalGUI: This application requires Zero Install 2.8 to run. I have a i1 display 2 and OSX Yosemite.
Any ideas where the problem might be?

There should be a “Download and install” button on the message dialog. If that doesn’t work, please open a terminal and type:

0install -V

If the command is not found or the version is below 2.8, please download this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zero-install/files/0install/2.8/ZeroInstall.pkg/download

I did that but the problem still persists…

What’s the output of 0install -V

[anonymous SourceForge]

Command not found…

[Florian Höch]

What the output of echo $PATH

and

ls -la /usr/local/bin

[anonymous SourceForge]

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/Argyll_V1.6.3/bin

and

ls: bin: Permission denied

Seems to be an permissions problem. I’d like to know if Disk Utility’s “Fix permissions” can fix this.

In case it can’t, run

sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin

It seems that was the problem. Working now. 🙂 Thanks.

Good day, I’m having the same issue.
0install -V shows same 0 – command not found.

I’ve downloaded and isntalled the 0onstall several times .

$path shows /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

la -la /user/local/bin
ls: /usr/local/bin: Permission denied

I ran Disk Util with no luck; it is a brand new iMac so there isn’t anything disk util can fix yet. Help?

[Florian Höch]

Hi, do you happen to have something else installed that might have affected folder permissions, e.g. MacPorts?

Running the following in a terminal should fix permissions:

sudo chmod +rx /usr/local/bin

Hi, I do not have anything else installed.
I did try running the command, it gave me the shpiel about “power is responsibilty”, and it didn’t go any further than that.

[Florian Höch]

So it didn’t ask for your password? Note that the command itself (chmod) doesn’t have any output, so if it ran then the permissions should be fixed now.

[foques SourceForge]

Hello, it did run and ask for the password, but I got the same message about 0install afterwards.

[Florian Höch]

What’s the output of:

0install -V
