I am running the executable file at ubuntu 20 machine, and hitting error about bash: No such file or directory

$ /nexus-iq-cli -s http://localhost:8070/ -a admin:admin123 -i test .
bash: /nexus-iq-cli: No such file or directory

I have checked the file is 64bit and executable. Is this file having problem or something else needed at my ubuntu machine?

  $ file nexus-iq-cli
    nexus-iq-cli: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

Your command is /nexus-iq-cli but your file command uses nexus-iq-cli - were you in / then? Are you on a Raspberry Pi or other non-x86 system? – muru Nov 16 '21 at 02:51
@muru yes that was the command given by tech person to run the executable file. i have tried with / or without / , both returned same bash error. i am in the correct directory at terminal already. not using raspberry, it is just my ubuntu machine. – user2201789 Nov 16 '21 at 03:05

Try ./nexus-iq-cli. See Why do we use "./" (dot slash) to execute a file in Linux/UNIX? – steeldriver Nov 16 '21 at 03:19
