WebOS CLI ares-install error when trying to install app on tv

1.1k Views Asked by At

When trying to ares-instal --device mytv ./path_to_my_ipk I get the following error:

ares-install ERR! Error: Command '/bin/rm -rf /media/developer/temp && /bin/mkdir -p /media/developer/temp' exited with code=1 (signal: undefined)

I'm currently using ares version 1.11.2-j36-k

I've also completed this previous steps:

- ares-setup-device and add my tv where I've specified the IP address, and pressed enter for device port, ssh user, description and password.

- ares-novacom --device mytv --getkey and after that introduced the passphrase that was display on the tv

- checked if the connection was ok by running ares-device-info --device mytv

I'm having the same issue on Macos, same version of the ares CLI and I have just downloaded the webOS SDK 6.0.1.

Now when I enable the Developer Mode on the TV, it says to use webOS TV CLI v1.12.4 or later, if not, I will not be able to install apps using the Developer Mode.

The correct CLI version is available here, with steps to install: https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/cli-installation#:~:text=webOS_TV_CLI_mac_1.12.4
