Support & Troubleshooting Software & APIs
1

**Moku model: MokuPro **
Operating system: Linux
Software version: 3.3.3 Firmware 601

Hello Forum/Support,
I having some trouble using streaming functions on Linux. I get the error message:

Cannot find mokucli 2.2.2.
Please download latest version of the CLI from Utilities - Liquid Instruments.
If you have already installed, please set the MOKU_CLI_PATH environment variable to absolute path of mokucli.

We can download the Mokucli for linux from utilities page. Then what?
Extract the mokucli-linux.tar.gz file and add

export MOKU_CLI_PATH=~/mokucli-linux/mokucli

to the ‘nano ~/.bashrc’ file? Some more explicit instructions would be welcome.

Regards,
L

Hello,
To set up mokucli symbolic link on a Linux system:

  1. Download the latest mokucli package from the Utilities page.
  2. Once the download is complete, get the path for mokucli. Using your terminal, navigate to the inside of the extracted downloads folder. You should see mokucli listed. Type “pwd” in your terminal once inside of the extracted folder to get the path. Make sure your path includes “mokucli” at the end.

Create a symbolic link so that you can run mokucli from anywhere. Type the following command in your terminal:

sudo ln -s /absolute/path/to/mokucli /usr/local/bin

NOTE: Replace “/absolute/path/to/mokucli” with your path from Step 2.

  1. Test to see if mokucli was correctly setup. Type “mokucli --version” to see if it worked. It should return “mokucli x.x.x” with the correct version numbers.

I hope this helps!

Hello @1000NightsAKnight,
This is one way to do it, but a simpler way is to just extract the .tar file, then add the resulting folder to your PATH. Once extracted, run realpath mokucli-linux which will give you the path to the folder. Then, once you have the path to the folder, run echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/mokucli-linux' >> ~/.bashrc, making sure to replace /home/user/mokucli-linux with your path. Then source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes. To verify installation run mokucli --version which should return the version number you have installed. Please let me know that this worked and thank you!

Thanks for the help, @Dylan. Of the two solutions you presented on this page, I used the one that described how to create a symbolic link. It worked a charm.
