Error while installing open edx using tutor

I have installed Docker in Ubuntu 22. 22.04.2 LTS using the command sudo apt-get install docker docker-compose.

I tried installing Tutor first using the command pip install “tutor[full]” which Successfully installed `appdirs-1.4.4 cachetools-5.3.1 click-repl-0.3.0 google-auth-2.21.0 jinja2-3.1.2 kubernetes-26.1.0 mypy-1.4.1 mypy-extensions-1.0.0 prompt-toolkit-3.0.38 pyasn1-0.5.0 pyasn1-modules-0.3.0 pycryptodome-3.18.0 pyyaml-6.0 requests-oauthlib-1.3.1 rsa-4.9 tomli-2.0.1 tutor-16.0.2 tutor-android-16.0.0 tutor-discovery-16.0.0 tutor-ecommerce-16.0.0 tutor-forum-16.0.0 tutor-license-16.0.0 tutor-mfe-16.0.0 tutor-minio-16.0.1 tutor-notes-16.0.0 tutor-webui-16.0.0 tutor-xqueue-16.0.0 typing-extensions-4.6.3 wcwidth-0.2.6

However, when I tried the command tutor --version It showed the message

Command 'tutor' not found, did you mean:
  command 'totor' from snap totor (0.2)
See 'snap info <snapname>' for additional versions.

So, I tried

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases/download/v16.0.2/tutor-$(uname -s)_$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/tutor
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/tutor

This seems to have worked as tutor --version showed tutor, version 16.0.2. Unfortunately,
I wasn’t prompted with whether I want to deploy or not but rather it asked for the website domain name and so forth

Error: Command failed with status 125: docker compose -f /home/tanvir/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /home/tanvir/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local stop

And finally ended with an error. I don’t know what to do. Any help is aprreciated

please follow this for any release u need to install tutor.

Releases · overhangio/tutor (github.com)

then just do it tutor local launch or tutor dev launch

if u are using palm release and your docker composer is old v1 so u need to upgrade for palm release u can look into it also

Install the Compose plugin | Docker Documentation

I installed tutor using the command pip install “tutor[full]==16.0.2”. It installs correctly as evident by the prompt

All services initialised.
The platform is now running and can be accessed at the following urls:

http://local.overhang.io
http://studio.local.overhang.io
http://apps.local.overhang.io

However, I I’m not able to access it in the web browser. I’m not sure what what I’m doing wrong.
P.S. when I type http://local.overhang.io on the web browser it automatically turns into https://local.overhang.io

I ran into the exact same issues as you with the failed status 125, which made me realize I had to update my version of docker compose to v2. This proved to be a bit of a hassle but in the end, I managed to get it working with the help of answers found here:

  1. Set up the docker repository
  2. Install the docker compose plugin using the repository
  3. Troubleshooting

Regarding not being able to access services, you could try activating the SSL/TLS certificates in the config:

First, stop tutor:

tutor local stop

Then update the config:

tutor config save --interactive

And choose Y when presented with the “Activate SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS access?” question.

Then restart tutor:

tutor local start -d

@newbie let me know after tutor local launch hit what u did here

[v16.0.1@tvm-palm] yagnesh@DSK-DEL-00001:~/tvm-palm$ tutor local launch

Activate SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS access? Important note: this will NOT work in a development environment. [y/N] N

if you use a tutor in the local system show u need to set Activate SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS access it to N. and then try it.

@rediris please let me know are u trying to install Tutor locally or on the server

if u try to install Tutor in the local system so should change it to N as per above mention.

Good point @Yagnesh, thank you. In my case I was installing it on a remote server.

@rediris did you install the tutor successfully? or are any issues still you facing related installation?

Hi @Yagnesh thank you - I have managed to get tutor (first olive, then palm) running successfully on a remote linux host as well as locally on a mac.

However, I’m having specific trouble with using custom forks of MFEs, but I should just open up a separate issue in the forum for that.

@rediris ok, u should, but please check it first forum if anyone has the same issue and solution is also in the forum so check it first.
