Installation problem: group admin exists Topic is solved

[musicmouse]

I have a fresh DigitalOcean Ubuntu 18.04 droplet (with only password set).

When I try to install Vesta I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

Error: group admin exists

Please remove admin group before proceeding.
If you want to do it automatically run installer with -f option:
Example: bash vst-install.sh --force

What is this about? What should I do?

If it is a fresh droplet, just do:

Code: Select all

groupdel admin

It should have no detrimental effect on your system.
