The fly auth login command isn't recognized on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

1

I use the Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS distro, however, I cannot use the fly auth signup and fly auth login commands. Could someone please tell me which commands I use in the terminal to authenticate Fly.io?

Those are the right commands. What happens when you try using them? Does it show an error message?

set channel to shell
flyctl was installed successfully to /home/user/.fly/bin/flyctl
Manually add the directory to your $HOME/.bash_profile (or similar)
  export FLYCTL_INSTALL="/home/user/.fly"
  export PATH="$FLYCTL_INSTALL/bin:$PATH"
Run '/home/user.fly/bin/flyctl --help' to get started

Hey could you paste how you installed flyctl?

It looks like rather than flyctl it’s rerunning the install script for some reason.

something’s a little weird with that output too. What happens if you run each of:

/home/user.fly/bin/flyctl --help

or

/home/user/.fly/bin/flyctl --help

Here’s what I see on an Ubuntu 20.04.5 machine:
