How to run dell command-configure with the terminal?

  • 772

I successfully downloaded the Dell Command | Configure but if I run the "cctk" command it says: 

Command 'cctk' not found, did you mean:

  command 'cct' from deb proj-bin (5.2.0-1)
  command 'sctk' from deb sctk (2.4.10-20151007-1312Z+dfsg2-3)
  command 'cmtk' from deb cmtk (3.3.1p1+dfsg-1)

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

The executable seems to be in /opt/dell/dcc/cctk (see other question). If I run the executable another error appears: 

Usage error.

Dell Command Configure Version 4.2.0  553 (Linux - Mar 20 2019, 11:35:21)
Copyright 2009 - 2019 Dell Inc. All rights reserved.

Usage: cctk --option[=argument]

For more information about a particular command, 
use the option '-H' followed by the command name.
Example: cctk -H --Asset
...

Any way to get it running? Thank you!

  1. To make the binaries from dcc discoverable without having to type the full path every time, open the file ~/.bashrc and add the following to the end,

    export PATH="/opt/dell/dcc:$PATH"

    Then when you open a new terminal, simply cctk will look for and execute this file in /opt/dell/dcc.

    As for the actual usage, you’ll have to read the manual or help guide to understand how it works. usage error means the program was executed, but did not have the required command line arguments passed to it.

  2. Another solution is to add symlink to your /usr/local/sbin directory.

    $ sudo ln -s /opt/dell/dcc/cctk /usr/local/sbin/

    Check the link

    $ type cctk
cctk is /usr/local/sbin/cctk
