tar (child): xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory

[LiminalD]

When I run this command after downloading the repository: tar -xvJf AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.xz

I get the following response:

tar (child): xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What am I doing wrong?

Hi LiminalID

It seems it's an issue with the archive file. The xz file is just an archive of the AutoHotspot-Setup folder also in the repository. So you can just CD into that, then cd Autohotspot and then run sudo autohotspot-setup.sh

Otherwise you can use the instructions to download the archive from my website.

I'm not able to sort the archive out for a week or so but these other two methods will work. Thanks for pointing this out.

You need to install "apt install xz-utils"
