Perhaps, just maybe, It would be helpful with some sort of a description of what you are trying to do, and what isn’t working… :joy:

Thank you so much @hanssv.chain for the quick response. I am trying to run the following build instructions related to the aesophia_cli repo in the GitHub.

Great, that answered what you were trying to do. Now if you could also answer the question about what isn’t working? Preferably with some actual commands and error messages?!

I was in discussion with @dincho.chain regarding that today because I wanted to test the new upcoming template for contract development that makes explicit use of the aesophia_cli binary.

@hanssv.chain I get the following error when trying to compile a contract using the CLI:

marc0olo@DESKTOP-B1QLEDL:~/git/aeternity/aepp-template$ ./bin/aesophia_cli contracts/Example.aes
/usr/bin/env: ‘escript’: Permission denied

my guess is that there are some dependencies needed in order to execute the binary. it would be great to have a package of the CLI wit Erlang bundled.

I am running on Windows and using WSL with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and I do not have specific dependencies installed right now

@gokulalex in my case I just wanted to execute the binary of the CLI and it failed due to a missing Erlang installation.

after installing Erlang it worked properly

Thank you @marco.chain for the pointers. Please let me retry after installing Erlang essentials.
