sas-admin: 'folders' is not a sas-admin command.

I downloaded the latest sas-admin CLI from https://support.sas.com/downloads/package.htm?pid=2133 and set up a profile / authenticated successfully. However it seems that none of the plugins are available. How do I proceed? Is it only possible from the Viya server directly? I'm on OSX.

➜  .sas ./sas-admin plugins list

➜  .sas ./sas-admin plugins list-repo-plugins

➜  .sas ./sas-admin plugins install --repo SAS authorization
sas-admin plugins: 'install' is not a sas-admin plugins command. See 'sas-admin plugins --help'.

@AllanBowe ,

I'm using the same sas-admin and "sas-admin plugins list-repo-plugins" command works just fine:

I'm curious to see the output from "sas-admin plugins list-repos" command.

Are you on mac? Where did you get your download?

```
➜ .sas ./sas-admin plugins list-repos
sas-admin plugins: 'list-repos' is not a sas-admin plugins command. See 'sas-admin plugins --help'.
```

```
➜ .sas ./sas-admin plugins list-repo-plugins
sas-admin plugins: 'list-repo-plugins' is not a sas-admin plugins command.
```

@AllanBowe ,

Yes, I'm on a Mac and I used the same URL as you to download sas-admin CLI.

aha - thanks!

Seems that it works just fine when you run it from the Downloads folder.

I'd actually moved the binary to the ~/.sas directory, and it seems that this is not a supported configuration.

Glad we got this solved. I just wanted to close the loop with a comment from @GerryNelson. He was approaching form the same angle as @alexal.

I don’t see any issues with what Allen is trying. I don’t have a mac system to test with. Maybe try this:

./sas-admin plugins enable-default-repo

And repeat the process.

The only other thing I can think of it that the commands were cut and paste and there are some strange characters. The “this”
is not a command would be the error you got if you miss-spelled something, or maybe there is a strange character.

I was trying to work on the Mac and have the same issue. sas-admin was saved on download folder;

Userid> sasboot

Password> Login succeeded. Token saved.

bash-3.2$ ./sas-admin --output text folders list-members --path /

bash-3.2$ pwd

You have to install folders plugin

sas-admin plugins install --repo SAS folders
