Unable to continue with Home Assistant manual installation

alison22000

I am very new to linux and I have only been using home assistant for a couple of weeks. I am trying to install Monocle onto it, but when I get to this step, it will not work

sudo dpkg -i monocle-gateway-linux-raspi-v0.0.4.deb

I get an error dpkg not found. I seem to only be able to get it to work as “install” , but there are values I am not familiar with yet. This is what it tells me when I run install. apt-get doesn’t work either.

sudo install monocle-gateway-linux-raspi-v0.0.4.deb
BusyBox v1.32.1 () multi-call binary.

Usage: install [-cdDsp] [-o USER] [-g GRP] [-m MODE] [-t DIR] [SOURCE]… DEST

Copy files and set attributes

    -c      Just copy (default)
    -d      Create directories
    -D      Create leading target directories
    -s      Strip symbol table
    -p      Preserve date
    -o USER Set ownership
    -g GRP  Set group ownership
    -m MODE Set permissions
    -t DIR  Install to DIR

Thank you for any help

Apparently this is because of the Alpine Linux system that is running. I just need to know how to complete the steps with the Alpine commands.

I found that i needed to use apk instead. I’m now running into a problem with the install type. sudo dpkg -i monocle-gateway-linux-arm64-v0.0.4.deb package architecture arm64 does not match system (musl-linux-arm64). I am so lost.

I would suggest following the manual installation steps for a non-Debian based OS.

Make sure to download the TAR.GZ archive instead of the DEB installer package.
SEE: https://monoclecam.com/monocle-gateway/install/linux-script-install?os=linux&arch=arm&target=arm64&file=monocle-gateway-linux-arm64-v0.0.4

The steps to setup the daemon/service may or may not work. You may have to review the install script and adapt for any Alpine differences.
