    When running the installer with --mode unattended --enable-legacy true on Linux, the full npm path is not set to NPMPATH in /etc/init.d/unity-accelerator.
    If you use the Setup Wizard without specifying the --mode option, the full path of npm will be set to NPMPATH.
    npm is installed in /usr/bin/npm.

    Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing here.

    Code (csharp):
    1. sudo /tmp/unity-accelerator.run --mode unattended --enable-legacy true
    2. Installation has not completed correctly:
    3.  
    4. Error running ***unknown variable npmpath*** install unity-cache-server: /bin/sh: 1: ***unknown variable npmpath***: not found

    This is definitely a bug in our installer that we will open a ticket for fixing. If you require the use of the legacy cache server, I would recommend installing it via NPM normally.

    Additionally, if you still want to have the Accelerator running to support 2019.3 and later projects (without support for Collaborate version control caching), you would run something like this:

    sudo /tmp/unity-accelerator.run --mode unattended --enable-adbv2 true --enable-collab false​

    Thank you. I am working around this bug with a printf hack.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. printf '\n\ny\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n' | sudo /tmp/unity-accelerator-linux-installer.run --enable-collab false --enable-legacy true
