Worker cannot connect to master by "KeyError: 'USER'" in standalone installation

Install, Configure and Update

Hi,

I’m trying to install cryoSPARC 2.15 in standalone mode.

While installation of worker and master was successful (according to the output log), but a connection of worker to master failed in the later step of the standalone installation.

 Connecting the cryoSPARC worker to the master...

Traceback (most recent call last):

    print     "  Connecting as unix user %s" % (os.environ['USER'])

    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'USER'

Has anyone experienced the same error?

Thank you,

Sorry, this was a dockerfile specific problem.

The problem was solved by explicitly specifying the USER environmental variable via ENV USER (user name).

Thanks for the update @kttn!
