You will need to compile OpenSeaChest Utilities, as root:

1) Jump to /root

Code:

cd /root

2) Use last Stable Release( v19.01.31 - Released 6 days ago, by xahmad )

Code:

git clone --recursive --branch v19.01.31 https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest.git

3) Jump into OpenSeaChest gcc compilation method and Compile the project:
    OBS: I tried using parallel compilation and it failed, better to use 1 process only like bellow..

Code:

cd openSeaChest/Make/gcc && make release

4) Wait for compilation to Finish, and check if there are erros at the end.
    If there are no errors, then copy binaries to final destination and remove code stuff used to compile:

Code:

mkdir -pv /opt/openSeaChest/bin && mv openseachest_exes/* /opt/openSeaChest/bin
cd / && rm -rf /root/openSeaChest

5) Update your root PATH environment var to know about OpenSeachest Utilities:

Code:

cat <<<'export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/openSeaChest/bin"' >> /root/.bashrc

6) Exit from root and log again has root,

Code:

exit && sudo su -

7) Now try to see if root, knows about OpenSeachest Utilities:
    type "open" and press <TAB>, you will see at least :

Code:

                           openSeaChest_FormatUnit    openSeaChest_PowerControl
openSeaChest_Basics        openSeaChest_GenericTests  openSeaChest_SMART
openSeaChest_Configure     openSeaChest_Info          openSeaChest_ZBD
openSeaChest_Erase         openSeaChest_Logs          
openSeaChest_Firmware      openSeaChest_NVMe          

8) Now has a Candy, check information about your Disk, using openSeaChest_Basics:
