Error: "grep must be installed on the remote system" in IFS browser

[stevabo]

When I want to "search directory" in IFS Browser, I get the message "grep must be installed on the remote system for the IFS search".
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hi @stevabo ,
you need the grep command line tool to be installed on your IBM i.

To do so, open a terminal or connect through SSH and run the following command: yum install grep-gnu.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi Sébastien,

Thanks for the quick response!

I see that the grep-gnu package is installed (with ACS open source package management). Did a reinstall but still not working.

@stevabo before you connect to your server, right click on it and select 'connect and reload settings' - then try again!

Thanks @sebjulliand and @worksofliam, it works now.
