Influxdb install error

InfluxDB 3
1

I followed the quick install guide and ran:

curl -O https://www.influxdata.com/d/install_influxdb3.sh \ && sh install_influxdb3.sh

After continuing with the prompts I tell it to do a file based storage and leave the storage path as default.
It returns with “ERROR: InfluxdB failed to start; check permissions or other potential issues”.

I have confirmed the user i am installing with “influxdb” has permissions for the data directory.
What else can I try?
screenshot shows the error during install and an ls-la of the /inbfluxdb directory showing influxdb is the owner and has permissions for read/write

This is odd, can you copy and paste that command - basically manually run influxdb3 serve (may have to provide the location of that binary if it’s not added in your system path) ? Just change the data directory and see if that works ?

Example:

influxdb3 serve \
  --verbose \
  --object-store file \
  --data-dir ~/.influxdb3 \
  --node-id node1
