Installing Codebeamer

[rattmice]

I am attempting to install CB 2.1.0.2 on ubuntu  and have done (hopefully) all of the pre-requisite steps.  When I login as the "codebeamer" user and run the installer, I get the following error:

sh MED-61402-CD-330_2-1-0-2_Linux.bin 
Creating directory setup
Verifying archive integrity...  100%   MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing codebeamer  100%  

Executing codebeamer setup...

Please enter the Installation
Directory (/home/codebeamer/CB-2.1.0.2): 
Installing codebeamer into directory:  /home/codebeamer/CB-2.1.0.2
Cleaning up setup folder
Incorrect installation directory.

Any guidance on this?

I checked and it seems ok to me: 

Can you please let me know the permissions and ownership of the installer?

Also please let me know the permissions of codebeamer folder.

Here are the permissions and another execution of the installer:

Are there any other prerequisites that might be missing? Unfortunately the installation instructions are scattered and have different information (e.g. one place says to install Java 8 and another says Java 17). But I couldn't find anything else that is required.

I was able to interrupt the installer at some point and utilize the setup directory it created and I added `set -x` at the top of the SETUP script and ran it:

Okay so the shell debugging helped.  It turns out the `cpio` command was not installed.
