[BUG] auto-install script fails on freshly installed server

[acloudiator]

Describe the bug

Instruction for auto-install is failing with an error. It says, "no package found" (for gcc and g++)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - x86_64 operating system
2. Follow auto-install instruction

Expected behavior

Following the instruction on a freshly installed OS (even with minimal packages) should succeed.

Please tell us about your environment:

1. OS details: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
2. Kernel details: 4.15.0-20-generic
3. Polycube Version: NA
4. Polycube Log: NA

Additional context

The script tries to use the missing packages with make but couldn't find it.
Inclusion of the missing packages worked for me.

$SUDO apt install -y wget gnupg2 gcc g++

Hello @acloudiator , could you please share the full log?, that error looks weird to me because gcc and g++ are included in the build-essencial package that is installed. I just tried on a fresh installation and it worked for me without major problems.

@mauriciovasquezbernal unfortunately, the terminal scrollback wasn't set, so it rolled over.
But I believe it won't be any harm to have this package mentioned, it will pass if already installed or install if not present. What say?

[mauriciovasquezbernal]

@acloudiator I will not add then until there is a confirmation of the problem, those are already included in build-essential so likely there was a different problem in your installation.

I've tested this on two new clean Ubuntu 18.04 instances, one with full installation, one with minimal installation.

• Os version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Kernel version: 4.18.0-15-generic

The installation completes flawlessly on both and Polycube works as expected.

I think this can be closed.

Closing.
