Hi All Hoping for a little assistance.  Brand new to Meltano.  Have a linux VM with Meltano installed and trying to set up an tap-oracle extractor.   The install seemed to work, however when I try to verify I get a permission denied message. Any help greatly appreciated.

You might need to
chmod +x
on the appropriate libraries and files here
chmod +x <your path here>

Thanks Adam. That is the problem, don't know what path the problem is. The path listed in the screens shot is readable by my user, I can see its contents. That is the only message displayed, so I have no idea where the permissions problem is. Can't find a log file anywhere either.

Did you try Adams suggestion? (+x is execute, not read) If you'd like more logs run this with a log level of debug ( https://meltano.com/docs/command-line-interface.html#debugging )
meltano --log-level=debug invoke tap-oracle --help
With appdata in the name is this on wsl by any chance? Honestly you shouldn't' have permission issues like this, how'd you install Python, and Meltano?

Hi Derek Thanks for the response, really appreciated. All the files in the directory in the error message are all marked with the execute permissions, eg: -rwxrwxr-x 1 pchapman pchapman 281 Sep 27 12:00 tap-oracle I am not running on WSL, but RHEL. I had to install python 3.9, the machine only had 3.6 on it when it was given to me. Installed with command: sudo yum install python39 Using the debug output command, I got the output attached in the file. Any help greatly appreciated.

hmm RHEL I remember pain from SELinux causing permission denied issues. I wonder if that's the cause here, you could try turning off selinux temporarily. I'm completely guessing right now but you could try it temporarily by running
setenforce 0
Everything seems normal based on your install and setup. I saw appdata and assumed! 😄 I'm rusty on RHEL related things but if that doesn't work I'd probably jump to running as root just to try to eliminate some things before we figure out where the permissions issue is coming from
What's certain is whatever is running tap-oracle doesn't have access to it
You are running python 3.9, I haven't made the jump yet, could be another thing to try! Good luck

setenforce didn't do the trick 😞
when I try sudo meltano it does not know what meltano is.
