Why does it still need to find the software installation directory here?

 tiup cluster list
Error: stat /opt/soft/tidb-community-server-v6.1.1-linux-amd64: no such file or directory

/opt/soft/tidb-community-server-v6.1.1-linux-amd64 is the current offline installation software directory.

Following Binbin’s instructions, after copying the .json files from the software extraction directory, it works.

Original control machine: Copy the .json files to the shared directory.

[tidb@centos-bsf36cfx ~]$ cp /opt/soft/tidb-community-server-v6.1.1-linux-amd64/*json /backup/tidb-test/tidb-community-server-v6.1.1-linux-amd64/

Target control machine: Reset the mirror directory with tiup mirror set

[tidb@centos-gxb9vid4 ~]$ tiup mirror set /backup/tidb-test/tidb-community-server-v6.1.1-linux-amd64/
Successfully set mirror to /backup/tidb-test/tidb-community-server-v6.1.1-linux-amd64

[tidb@centos-gxb9vid4 ~]$ tiup cluster list

It can be executed normally :+1:
