Hello world,

Im new to SAS and just did a fresh install of SAS VIYA 3.5.

Im doing post install and got error and stuck with an issue

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/calcdc/3.5/dplyml0phy0lax/p0npk8pk8rezusn0zss8b14tk8t0.htm#n0wq5wobjqak86n1m04o6mgx8v5q

. /opt/sas/viya/config/consul.conf

/opt/sas/viya/home/bin/sas-bootstrap-config --token-file /opt/sas/viya/config/etc
/SASSecurityCertificateFramework/tokens/consul/default/client.token kv write
config/launcher-server/global/environment/SASMAKEHOMEDIR 1

As noted on the documentation, I enter the second command on a single line but still got error.

Are you running this command as a user with read permission on the token file supplied?
/opt/sas/viya/config/etc/SASSecurityCertificateFramework/tokens/consul/default/client.token

Greg, that one I havent checked before but I was able to run the command i found on google with this revised format

source /opt/sas/viya/config/consul.conf
export CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN=$(sudo cat /opt/sas/viya/config/etc/SASSecurityCertificateFramework/tokens/consul/default/client.token)

Yes, if you aren't running as root or the "sas" user you'd need to sudo the cat command because of the permissions on the file "client.token"
