Hi all,  
I had some issues when I tried to download, i got this error:

> ft@penguin~/autopsy-4.20.0/linux\_macos\_install\_scripts$ ./install\_application.sh -i ~/autopsy -n Autopsy-Manu -j /bin/java  
> Setting up application at /home/ft/autopsy//…  
> ./install\_application.sh: line 87: pushd: no other directory  
> Unable to setup permissions for application binaries

Does anyone know a solution?  
Please reply if you have a solution or need more info etc. 🙂

The scripts don’t work on my testing VM on Linux Mint. To make it work, I do as explained on a DFIR video ([Compiling Software in Linux: The Sleuthkit - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgRtF3CFq1s)), but I cannot install Autopsy. I did all, but the last problem is libtsk\_jni not found. And then the interface of the software does not work.
