Is that really the filename or have you missed the capitalization and the extention?
I ask, because I went over facebook, and was prompted to download the following file:

Code:

FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz

Evo2.

your right thats the file

Ok, you said the file was on your desktop, which I am assuming is ~/Desktop. Please open a terminal and to do the following to install it for your user.

Code:

cd ~/Desktop

pwd

ls

tar xzf FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz

cd FacebookPlugIn

ls -l

chmod a+x FacebookPlugin_Install.sh

./FacebookPlugin_Install.sh

If there are any error messages please don't bother trying to run the reamaing commands, just post the full output to the forum.

PS. Some of the commands (ls, pwd, ls -l) are just to provide information in case is does not work.

Hi!

I guess there was a typo in steps here are the required one:

cd ~/Desktop
pwd
ls
tar xzf FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3.tar.gz
cd FacebookPlugIn-1.0.3
ls -l
chmod a+x FacebookPlugin_Install.sh
./FacebookPlugin_Install.sh

Thanks

@pkhera Thanks, there was indeed a typo in the cd command (I forgot the version string).

@glenn201 Please follow the modified instructions given by pkhera

Cheers,

Evo2.

now i get this thanks for all the help

i dont know what im doing wrong

Capital I in the "PlugIn" in FacebookPlugIn_Install.sh.

Please either cut and paste from the output of "ls -l" or use <Tab> completion.

Eg. Type

Code:

chmod +x F<Tab>

Where <Tab> means pressing the tab key. This should automatically print the rest of the filename for you.

(google to find out how tab completion works)
