No Sudo switch for binary installs does not work

[goreha-abhilash]

Hello

I am working on a non admin mac device. IT Admins installed the gruntwork-installer for me via Admin account. However, I still cannot install binaries with no-sudo switch as mentioned in the official documentation for binary installation. For reference, I am trying to install this:
gruntwork-install --binary-name "kubergrunt" --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/kubergrunt" --tag "v0.11.3" --no-sudo

The admins also tried to run this via admin account but the no-sudo switch does not give any output.

This runs a bit counter-intuitive to what I would expect (and I think you are expecting), but --no-sudo is not a binary flag, it is expecting a value. Try this:

 gruntwork-install --binary-name "kubergrunt" --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/kubergrunt" --tag "v0.11.3" --no-sudo true

Here's my run, first without specifying true and then with:

 ~ $ gruntwork-install --binary-name "kubergrunt" --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/kubergrunt" --tag "v0.11.3" --no-sudo
 ~ $ gruntwork-install --binary-name "kubergrunt" --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/kubergrunt" --tag "v0.11.3" --no-sudo true

Thanks Pete for this clarification. Tried this out but now a strange permission denied error:
gruntwork-install --binary-name "kubergrunt" --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/kubergrunt" --tag "v0.11.3" --no-sudo true

Are you running this in a standard user in a Mac?

[pete0emerson]

I am running this as a standard user on my Mac, yes. I have run chmod 0775 pete:admin /usr/local/bin. I think I did that initially for Homebrew, although I'm not positive.

You can also specify an alternate binary installation directory for gruntwork-install with --binary-install-dir.

[goreha-abhilash]

Thanks Pete. Along with that I also had to update the permissions for /etc/user-data folder to get the binaries to install.
But this does not seem to work for modules. Do you have any ideas/suggestions for modules installation as well?

[pete0emerson]

I can check. What module(s) are you trying to install, and when you try to install them, do they give you a similar failed mv command?

[goreha-abhilash]

Here is the command output along with the module name I am trying to install:

$ gruntwork-install --repo "https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-ci" \
--module-name "infrastructure-deploy-script"
--tag "$MODULE_CI_VERSION" --no-sudo true

Per the --help, --no-sudo only applies to binaries.

  --no-sudo		When true, don't use sudo to install the binary into the install directory. Only applies to binaries (not modules). Default: false

Ok, so I am kind of stuck here. Wonder if the admin installs it for me creates a problem
