Can’t install on Mint 21

[razuh]

Command line install messages:

NX> 701 ERROR: Installation of NoMachine server is corrupted:

NX> 701 ERROR: Missing /usr/NX/etc/keys/node.localhost.id_dsa ssh key file!

NX> 701 ERROR: Please uninstall and install the package again.

Tried uninstall and purge with same results. Also tried GUI install, unsuccessfully.

Which package did you install from the website, and for 32-bit or 64-bit?

Thank you for reply.

64 is what I intend but tried both

if you have 64-bit  architecture and installed the packages for 32-bit, you will get an error and vice-versa. Please check this on the machine you want to install on. You can do this by running uname -m in a terminal.

If it shows: x86_64, you need amd64 deb which is here: https://www.nomachine.com/download/download&id=3
Is this what you installed?

If you have tried installing different packages, and then uninstalling without removing /usr/NX dir you may have some leftovers from the wrong 32-bit package which need clearing out. It would be a good idea to start from scratch.

sudo dpkg --purge nomachine
sudo rm -rf /usr/NX /etc/NX

and install again.

That did it! You are much appreciated!
