Hi Please help with this persistent problem
When I DL cryotools, and double click the file… It opens up some kind of terminal with script… But does not execute the file
The same happens after I DL emudeck… How the f do I execute the file… Should it not be a simple double click ?
Thanks
you might need to right-click, go to properties/settings and look at the permissions. Files downloaded from the internet are usually not marked as “executable” by default.
Might try moving the file to the desktop and then running it.
You’ve already marked then as executable, right? Great.
Right-click on the file and see if there’s an option like “run as program” or “run in terminal” or something similar. If there is, click it.
Still no luck? Okay, open your file browser, find the file, and right click on the empty space (not on the file itself). Open a terminal. Now, type
./name-of-file. For example, if the file is called “emudeck.sh,” then you would type./emudeck.sh. You can use the tab button to autocomplete the file name when you’re typing it, if that helps.If you run the shell script through the terminal you may also be able to see some verbose as to why the script is failing. If so, check the GitHub issues for this program to see if it is already being tracked
Read the troubleshooting section on the cryo git.
Personally I would recommend getting yourself a bit more familiar with Linux in general before messing with cryoutil. It sounds to me like you’re just opening the script, not executing it.
