Failed to install petalinux 2018.3

[asobeih]

Hello,

I have downloaded petalinux 2018.3 on my Ubuntu 16.04. The requirements are satisfied.

I run the installer using this command:

~/petalinux$ ./../Downloads/petalinux-v2018.3-final-installer.run

to install it in the current directory.

Also, the current directory has permission 755 and the installation file 777 permission.

When I run the installer, I get this error:

INFO: Checking installation environment requirements...
awk: read error (Bad address)

Please refer to the PetaLinux Tools Installation Guide.

Check the troubleshooting guide at the end of that manual, and if you are
unable to resolve the issue please contact customer support with file:
   /home/user/petalinux/petalinux_installation_log

awk: read error (Bad address)
./../Downloads/petalinux-v2018.3-final-installer.run: line 139: /tmp/tmp.xOOXntq0Gg/: Is a directory
ERROR: Failed to extract Petalinux installer...

I tried this on my pc and also a virtual machine and the same error always happen. How can I solve this problem?

There were some required packages not installed. For anyone facing such error, please make sure you install the required packages found in the PetaLinux Installation Guide.

I followed what UG1144 (v2018.3) says on page 12 "Quick Installation of Packages",  and what is missing is gawk package.

In my case, ubuntu, this is what it should be:

sudo apt-get install -y gcc git make net-tools libncurses5-dev tftpd zlib1g-dev libssl-dev flex bison libselinux1 gnupg wget diffstat chrpath socat xterm autoconf libtool tar unzip texinfo zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib build-essential libsdl1.2-dev libglib2.0-dev zlib1g:i386 screen pax gzip gawk
