CumulusMX won't start

[WetCoast]

I apologize if this topic has already been discussed but I searched and couldn't find anything applicable.

I'm trying to install and run the CumulusMX on a debian linux 64bit machine. I downloaded and unzipped the file (CumulusMXDist3025.zip) into it's own directory under my home directory and when I tried to run it I got the following:

Code: Select all

gord@server:~/CumulusMX$ sudo mono CumulusMX.exe
Current culture: English (United States)
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for CumulusMX.Cumulus ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler' from assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

**** An error has occurred - please zip up the MXdiags folder and post it in the forum ****
Press Enter to terminate

The "MXdiags" folder is empty.
I'm running Mono JIT compiler version 3.2.8 (Debian 3.2.8+dfsg-10)
and libudev0 version 175-7.2

It looks like the same problem as this - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13841 - so you probably don't have the full Mono package (mono-complete) installed.

You're absolutely right! I found a package called "mono-complete" which is a metapackage.

In the description for mono-complete it says, in part:
"This is a metapackage and pulls in the Mono runtime, development tools and
all libraries.

Install this package if you want to run software for Mono or Microsoft .NET
which you are not installing from a Debian package."

It installs 188 other packages.

After installing this package (and it's 188 dependencies), CumulusMX fired right up!!

Thank you so much for the help.
