install

Summary

install failed

Details

When this fires

This is the umbrella for any nanook install failure. The inner diagnostic is one of the more specific install_* codes (no writable dir, can't read current exe, copy failed, etc). You only see the bare install code if a future variant slips through without its own code, the typical run always gives you a more pointed inner cause.

What to check

Look at the chained diagnostic for the exact reason and follow that page. Common quick fixes:

# pick an explicit destination
nanook install --to ~/.local/bin

# or escalate when system dirs are the only writable option
sudo nanook install

Pass --symlink instead of copying if you'd rather track a moving build dir.
