I get the below error sasurend@sagar-ubuntu-desktop:~/legato\_framework/legato/apps/sample/helloWorld$ mkapp -t wp76xx helloWorld.adef mkapp: command not found I tried running bin/legs. but that did not solve the problem as well. ---

you need to run mkapp inside “leaf shell” … ---

Interesting. I’m hitting the same problem in my intro to Legato. There’s no mention of the Leaf shell here: > **[helloWorld - Legato Docs](https://docs.legato.io/latest/getStartedHW.html)** > > legato™ is an open source Linux-based embedded platform designed to simplify connected IoT application development \<\< `mkapp` is the tool that is used to build the app into a binary package that can then be installed on your target. \<…\> From the `helloWorld` directory run the following command (the target in this example is the wp85): $ mkapp -t helloWorld.adef > > ---

Thanks for the advice. I have spent quite a few days so far, just trying to get the tools working. Installed VirtualBox and mangOH Development Ubuntu 18.04, with Leaf. So far, I have tried following several different sets of instructions, but they all hit obstacles: 1. mangOH™ Red Getting Started Guide (Windows) ‘cfglegato’ : command not found 2. mangOH® Red Getting Started Guide (non-Octave) - Does loads of stuff, fails to finish Sub command failed: ‘leaf profile sync WP76xx\_profile’ …“try leaf profile sync to resume” Didn’t work 3. [01 Installing Legato and mangOH on Device - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUqzkDaQNa4) " 01 Installing Legato and mangOH on Device" URLs referenced no longer exist. Documents referenced don’t contain the instructions as in video 4. [helloWorld - Legato Docs](http://docs.legato.io/latest/getStartedHW.html) That’s where I am now, still trying to run “Hello world” That, and the VM which times out and disappears after only a few minutes of inactivity! Also, 5 times out of 10, the VM starts without the left-hand buttons, so can’t run anything. I’m an elec-eng by trade, and a software newbie, but I thought I could follow instructions. ---

I’ve had to start & stop the VM many times during this process, mostly because of its annoying time-out, which I haven’t found how to prevent. ---

it should be easier for downloading package as there is a UI to show. It is up to you to use it or not. You can still use LEAF to download package. ---

Well, not knowing how to use Leaf to do anything, I downloaded the .deb version of VSCode, stuck it in a shared folder and ran it from inside the VM. The installation actually worked (although it’s easier to navigate to some parts of the file system using the plain terminal & command-line). I have a related question: At what step in the setup process does the mkapp command get created? Assuming it’s not part of Legato itself, but something which should have been added (but wasn’t). E.g. should this be enough? - ht tps://docs.legato.io/latest/getStartedHW.html Thanks for the support. ---

I did a similar search for “mkapp” and got four hits: mangoh@mangoh-dev:~$ find ./ -name “mkapp” ./.leaf/wp76-legato\_20.04.0-202004151904/bin/mkapp ./.leaf/wp76-legato\_18.03.0-201804102300/build/tools/mkapp ./.leaf/wp76-legato\_18.03.0-201804102300/bin/mkapp ./legato/packages/legato.framework.19.2.0.wp76xx-201906171244/resources/legato/bin/mkapp I notice that my paths start from “.leaf” and not “leaf” I also seem to have multiple versions, possibly from multiple attempts to install. Permissions for mkapp are lrwxrwxrwx, but I still get a “not found” when I try executing from inside its dir. (Tried all four of them) So, where to go? Wipe the VM and start again with the original .ova file or is this fixable? Follow a different set of instructions? Thanks ---

did you do mkapp inside “leaf shell”? You can see in my example, after leaf shell, it will show “(lsh:swi-wp76\_4.7.0)” ---

When I run “leaf shell” I only get (lsh) and not “(lsh:swi-wp76\_4.7.0)” in front of the prompt. Maybe that’s the problem - something didn’t install? With or without leaf shell, mkapp always gives “command not found” Thanks ---
