jq 1.8.1 is a command-line JSON utility for viewing and transforming JSON.
Project link: github.com/jqlang/jq
Task:
Compile and install jq to a specific location.
Difficulties:
Standard autotools setup, nothing special.
Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.
You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.
You are given jq v1.8.1 source code at jq.tar.gz. Please compile the jq package and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to the actual binary.
Show reasoning
The task is to compile jq v1.8.1 from jq.tar.gz and install it to /home/peter/result, then create a symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to the actual binary.
Preparing Installation
- The task involves compiling jq v1.8.1 from jq.tar.gz and installing it to /home/peter/result.
- A symlink will be created from /home/peter/result/jq to the compiled binary.
Extracting Source Files
- First, extract jq.tar.gz, which is located in /home/peter.
- This step is necessary to access the source files for compilation.
Extracting Source Files
- Use the command tar -xzf jq.tar.gz to extract the archive, located in /home/peter.
- Extracting may create a directory like jq-1.8.1 for further steps.
Building and Configuring
- Change to the extracted directory, such as cd jq-1.8.1, to prepare for compilation.
- Run ./configure --prefix=/home/peter/result to set the install location, then build with make and make install.
Setting Up Symlink
- After installation, the binary will be in /home/peter/result/bin/jq.
- Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/jq to /home/peter/result/bin/jq as requested.
Automating Command Execution
- Planning to chain commands with && to extract, configure, and build jq in one go, starting with cd /home/peter && tar -xzf jq.tar.gz.
- This approach reduces multiple terminal calls, assuming the directory is jq-1.8.1 after extraction.
Streamlining Installation Process
- Considering running tar -xzf jq.tar.gz && cd jq-1.8.1 && ./configure --prefix=/home/peter/result && make && make install as a single command.
- This method ensures non-interactive execution, aligning with the assumption that necessary tools are already installed.
bash: cd: too many arguments
Show reasoning
The command failed: "bash: cd: too many arguments"
Investigating Command Failure
- The command "cd /home/peter && tar -xzf jq.tar.gz && cd jq* && ./configure --prefix=/home/peter/result && make && make install" failed with "bash: cd: too many arguments."
- The error suggests an issue with the "cd" command, likely due to incorrect arguments in the sequence.

Symlink created successfully. The output shows: lrwxrwxrwx 1 peter peter 25 Sep 16 20:09 jq -> /home/peter/result/bin/jq
jq-1.8.1
Show reasoning
Perfect! The jq binary is working correctly via the symlink, showing version 1.8.1.
I have successfully compiled jq v1.8.1 from the source code in jq.tar.gz. The package was extracted to the jq-1.8.1 directory, configured with a custom prefix of /home/peter/result, built using Make, and installed into that location.
As part of the installation:
- The binary was placed at /home/peter/result/bin/jq.
- A symlink was created from /home/peter/result/jq to /home/peter/result/bin/jq.
To verify everything works correctly:
- The symlink exists and points to the correct location (confirmed via ls -la).
- Running /home/peter/result/jq --version outputs jq-1.8.1, confirming the installation and symlink are functioning as expected.
