install.sh script problem with the pi user

[leon-pat]

Hi,
I am encountering an error with the installation script. The command: sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/.cache does not work because the user pi does not exist.
Do I need to create this user, or does it normally exist in a Raspberry Pi OS installation?
My OS installation was just completed with Raspberry Pi Imager, and I am using Raspberry Pi OS (Legacy, 64-bit) Lite Bookworm.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Hi, it is a known issue: #135

Creating the pi user might not work as it actually is looking for a place to store firefox data where the normal user account (which is not named pi in your install) stores its data.

Best approach is to make the cache directory under your current user.

Hi Jaap Van,

Thank for your reply, I created the user pi and the installation completed successfully.
I am waiting to receive a 7" screen to test the graphics application.

Best regards
