Hello,

We have running OpenVpn SERVER on a mikrotik router. The aim is to install OpenVpn Client on RevPi3. I have suseeded the process with a standard Raspberry pi 4 and now I am trying to replicate the same commands to RevPi.
I have downloaded the package file on PI in a directory on desktop. I am trying to run the script " install-sh " on Revpi wiht the following commands on terminal :

$ cd /home/pi/Downloads/openvpn-2.5.3
pi@RevPi46996:~/Desktop/openvpn-2.5.3 $ ./configure && make && make install
bash: ./configure: Permission denied

pi@RevPi46996:~/Desktop/openvpn-2.5.3 $ sudo ./configure && make && make install
sudo: ./configure: command not found

pi@RevPi46996:~/Desktop/openvpn-2.5.3 $ ./install
bash: ./install: No such file or directory

pi@RevPi46996:~/Desktop/openvpn-2.5.3 $ ./install-sh
bash: ./install-sh: Permission denied

pi@RevPi46996:~/Desktop/openvpn-2.5.3 $ sudo ./install-sh
sudo: ./install-sh: command not found


Can you please let me know what is the propper command to install it on RevPI ?

Hi Ivan,

is there any reason you don't use the openvpn package? You can install it with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt install openvpn
