sudo: ./install.sh: command not found is not working on Lion

Question

I've been following this tutorial in order to get SimpleOpenNI installed on my mac but I keep getting stuck at installing the OpenNI and NITE components because it requires me to navigate to the folders in Terminal and then run "sudo ./install.sh". I do this and I get this error:

sudo: ./install.sh: command not found

I've installed Command Line Tools in Xcode and everything.

Thanks

Which step fails? I see two with sudo ./install.sh. – Spannew

The very first step with that command in it. But really running that command for any of the steps comes up with the same error. – Suiting

right before you do the "sudo" thing, type in "ls" in Terminal. That prints out a list of files. Do you see "install.sh" in that list of files? If not, type in "pwd" and tell us where you are. – Requisition

If you do as above and there is an install.sh, do ls -l and check that it is actually executable (-rwxr-xr-x) – Spannew

Thanks for your help, I was making a really dumb typo error - must've just been tired. All good now. Thank you again. – Suiting

Answer 1

The reason why that happens is because the script you are trying to execute needs the right permissions.

Type:

sudo chmod a+x install.sh

and then try again.

Answer 3

first open Terminal, type cd and than drag the map into Terminal and press enter. Now type sudo ./install.sh and it will work. Took me very long to find out. Hope it helps.

Answer 4

.sh scripts should have "\n" line breaks. "Command not found" also occurs if "\r\n" line breaks are used. Well at least this is the case on FreeBSD.

Answer 5

You need to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run as root, not autorun.sh

Once you've inserted the Guest Additions ISO, open Files and open the disc from the sidebar. Then, right-click in the background of the window where autorun.sh is and select

Open in > Terminal

Now you can run the following command to install the Guest Additions:

sudo ./VboxLinuxAdditions.run
