Could someone advise me what the complete command line is to run "sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh".

I've opened command line and used command line hylton@hylton-laptop:~$ run sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh (not working) and hylton@hylton-laptop:~$ sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh (not working).

I guess I am using the command line. Any help?

  • It might help to elaborate a bit more on "not working". What happens exactly?

It depends where you placed the veetle file. If you downloaded it to your desktop, run cd Desktop and then run the sh.

EDIT:The veetle script is already an executable. Do not run as root, veetle recommends against it and it will add complications later. (This happened to me)

Sh is needed to run the command.

  • Well what is the return script? What does it say when you enter the sh?

  • It seems that the command can't find your veetle script the you downloaded. However, sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh is the correct command. Where did you place the veetle script you downloaded from the site?

  • The script is in the download directory.

Try ./veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh with a dot slash ./ at the beginning, or possibly sudo ./veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh since things are generally installed as root. (Do not put 'run' or 'sh' at the beginning. That is not needed.) You might need to do chmod a+x veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh first if it's not already executable.

  • Hi...I tried all of the above(3 options) as suggested, with no success.
