Cannot run Spark 2.6.3 on Ubuntu 12.04

  • 772

I am trying to install Spark IM in my fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, however I am running into all kinds of problems. The steps I have taken so far were:

  1. Download the tar.gz file from the website
  2. Unpack it into my Desktop
  3. sudo mv Desktop/Spark/ /opt/

Then I try to run the file as root sudo sh /opt/Spark/Spark, but I get the following error:

/opt/Spark/Spark: 150: /opt/Spark/Spark: bin/unpack200: not found
Error unpacking jar files. Aborting.
You might need administrative priviledges for this operation.

Since I was running the file as root (using admin) I do not understand why it says that "might need" administrative privileges ...

Here is the output of running ls -Al:

The file I am trying to run is a "sh" file, so I do not need to do sudo chmod +x Spark right?

Why is this not running? What do I need to do to fix it?

    The problem with this version is that the program tries to run the file /bin/unpack200 which does not exist. However, the file /usr/bin/unpack200 does exist. This is due to the fact that this file is in different places depending on the architecture of the machine used - if it is 32bits, it is in one place, if it is 64bits, it is in the other.

    I am having this problem because the file was made to run on a 32bit architecture but I am using a 64bits machine.

    Therefore to fix this problem one must install 32bits libraries. To do so just type: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs.
