Error Pipeline Pilot on Linux: "The folder for this package cannot be located."

When installing packages on a Pipeline Pilot server running on Linux, the error "The folder for this package cannot be located." is raised. This is due to missing environment variables.

Environment variables required by pkgutil are defined in a file ppvars.sh. Check whether they are already defined in your system. e.g.

echo $SCITEGIC

If you see no output, your environment variables are missing. Run the following to define them:

cd /<PP install root>/linux_bin
source ./ppvars.sh
