Issue
- When trying to install Liferay Dev Studio, I get a UI error that states "Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly. Could not create DXP download token," and no files are installed.
- I am connected to the internet and I've verified the username and password are correct.
Environment
Resolution
- If the Dev Studio installer has any issues connecting with Liferay servers to automatically generate a download token (such as when connecting from behind a proxy), a token must be generated manually on www.liferay.com.
- After logging in, hover over your profile picture, navigate to Account Home > Account Settings > Miscellaneous > Authorization Tokens, then select "Add Token" and Generate.
- Lastly, create a new file named
~/.liferay/token and copy the generated token into that file.
