# Linux and MacOS

## Known Possible Issues

### SWAT+ Editor: SUID Sandbox

You may receive an error trying to launch SWAT+ Editor on some Linux distributions:

> The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but it is not configured correctly.

 If so, please try the following.

Find your installation location. If you did install for me, it is:

```
cd ~/.local/share/SWATPlus/SWATPlusEditor
```

If you selected install for all, it is:

```
cd /usr/local/share/SWATPlus/SWATPlusEditor
```

From the install directory, type the following commands:

```
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
```

You should now be able to launch the editor without error.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://swatplus.gitbook.io/docs/get-help/linux-and-macos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
