I have installed p4 command line client on the server, and something strange is happening. It exists, has executable rights, but I cannot execute it because I received an error message that it does not exists.
I tried looking around, and everyone else who had this problem realized they picked the wrong binary for their box, but I made 100% sure I didn’t.
the /usr/local/bin/p4 file is:
- 0x0755
- in my $PATH directory (/usr/local/bin)
- exists in the correct place
- execution attempted as root & as ubuntu users
here is my terminal output:

any help is greatly appreciated!
Answer
ok I found a solution, I changed my provision script to this and it works fine. I have no idea why this fixed my problem…
#!/bin/bash
# bash strict and verbose mode
set -o pipefail -e -u -x
if [ ! -z `which p4` ]; then
exit 0
fi
# Installs Perforce
echo "deb http://package.perforce.com/apt/ubuntu/ trusty release" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/perforce.list
wget -qO - https://package.perforce.com/perforce.pubkey | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install -y helix-cli
