Envoy installation under Linux [Linux]

Envoy for Linux has been tested with Ubuntu, Fedora, Open Suse, Mint, Debian and several other distros, but given that distros can be highly customised we can NOT guarantee it will install or run. This article provides information on how to handle common issues you may encounter.

1. Download Linux version of the GridMarkets Envoy Launcher to install, update, start/stop and uninstall Envoy. Please ensure you download just before requiring as we periodically update it.

2. GridMarkets+Envoy+Launcher.tar.gz will be downloaded, right click on it and select "extract" or do via a Terminal window:

[2a] - change working directory to where it was downloaded, most likely the default Download folder:

cd ~/Downloads

[2b] - extract:

tar -xvzf ./GridMarkets+Envoy+Launcher.tar.gz -C .

3. Run the GridMarkets Envoy Launcher

cd GridMarkets_Envoy_Launcher-<CURRENT VERSION NUMBER>

./gridmarkets_envoy_launcher

If you get the following error

ERROR HANDLING - no executable permissions set

set it to have executable permissions:

chmod +x gridmarkets_envoy_launcher

ERROR HANDLING - sandbox error

If you get a "Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported." error prompt please add that flag:

./gridmarkets_envoy_launcher --no-sandbox

Please see this video on using the GridMarkets Envoy Launcher to install and run Envoy

If Envoy does not automatically start then ensure it has executable permissions

chmod +x ~/.local/share/GridMarkets/Envoy/gm_envoy

And then run it with

~/.local/share/GridMarkets/Envoy/gm_envoy

You can then login to Envoy wiv http://localhost:8091. Please refer to our tutorials for more information on using Envoy.
