Error with #!/BIN/BASH MAC [closed]

Question

I am trying to host a unturned server, and I watched a tutorial on youtube.

So that is what I wrote in textedit for the launcher of the server (a .command) :

#!/BIN/BASH
/Users/username/Desktop/Unturned/Unturned.app/Contents/MacOS/Unturned -nogui -batchmode +secureserver/ServeurQC

btw, I called the file (Unturned Serveur.command) without the ()

but it is giving me this error :

-bash: /Users/username/Desktop/Unturned Serveur.command: /BIN/BASH^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

logout

can someone help me.

Answer 1

You are getting the error :

/BIN/BASH^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

because there is no file named /BIN/BASH in Linux systems (unless you create one yourself). All Linux systems are case-sensitive, so #!/bin/bash and #!/BIN/BASH are totally different.

To solve the interpreter related issue, make the shebang as :

#!/bin/bash

Or prefarably :

#!/usr/bin/env bash

Also you seems to have carriage return as your line terminator, but Linux systems use line feed to terminate lines. So you should correct it yourself or use a simple program line dos2unix to do the job.

You can simply do the conversion by :

dos2unix filename

It is not installed by default, you can install it by :

sudo apt-get install dos2unix
