Cannot install SDK Manager Debian

I've tried downloading and installing the SDK manager to run in Debian (Linux)

(https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/getting-started/)

The folders have extracted into a file and there are only 2 folders.

Share - contains some welcome notifications and a bunch of images

bin - contains a 10.1MB file called "sdkmanager" with no extension.

I've tried giving this file run permissions (chmod +x) but it wont run for me.

What am I doing wrong?

  • you are probably missing some libraries as there is no dependency check when installing the sdkmanager.  When running it from the command line, do you get errors ?

    If you run the command 'file sdkmanager', you'll get something like:

    sdkmanager: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=f7026b4f56c0b6937510bd97963c1282bb14ebc5, not stripped

    make sure that you have that 1st library installed.
