terminal error trying to install l DaVinci Resolve on Debian
 
I got this error

If the command you posted is what you actually used, you should not have a space between ./ and DaVinci...
The error indicates it is trying to run ./ as a command.

Yes, its actually what I used, but after adjustment and unzip still hasn't installed:

Code:

$sudo ./DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_linux.run
sudo: ./DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_linux.run: command not found
$

You're running the command in the same directory as the .run?
Code:

~$ pwd
/home/linux-man/Downloads/orWhatever
~$ ls
DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_linux.run

Sorry, had to ask... :)

Aeterna 12-03-2022 09:12 PM

Is ..run file executable?

Yes, I ran the command in same directory for the .run. Zip and .run are both right now residing in my /home/linux-man/Downloads, Ran from that directory

How do I find out if it's executable?

Aeterna 12-03-2022 10:45 PM

Quote:

ls -l
Will help,
or just make it executable without checking:
Quote:

chmod +x filename.run
if you want to remove exec bit run
Quote:

chmod -x filename.run
Hopefully, once you make the file executable your command
Quote:

./filename.run
will work

Another good question is did you download it directly from DaVinci Resolve?
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/pro...avinciresolve/
To be safe you could search video editing software from Debian's package maintainers... unless you need that high end expensive one for whatever? After making most of their site work, unblocking a bunch of scripts more pop-up so I'd have to do more research on it? :D That one pops up as a good one further down the line,,, for Linux in Hollywood but Debian has top ones in Apt... :hattip:

add: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/d...basics.en.html ;)

Thank you your appraisal would be welcome.

Are you sure about that? Resolve is meant to be one of the big guns from what I garnered.

Poster tries to install shotcut too, on KDE, you can check it in another thread.

jamison20000e 12-05-2022 02:36 PM

^Yeah I'm in that thread too. :) The GIMP works pretty well for both these threads( unless you "need" another :scratch::D), though just like Linux you learn to use it...

linux-man 12-05-2022 10:48 PM

Results of ls -l (below):
Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_Linux.run
-rw-r--r-- 1 DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_Linux.zip

results of $chmod +x filename.run (below):
Code:

[~/Downloads]
$chmod +x DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_linux.run
chmod: cannot access 'DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_linux.run': No such file or directory

Is it critical or essential to make it executable first? You also gave me the option of removing the executable by typing in:
Quote:

if you want to remove exec bit run
Code:

chmod -x filename.run
When should I be removing the executable?

The only revelant take away from the above link is
Code:

$ sudo apt install <Package_Name>
and I got:
Code:

sudo apt install DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_Linux.run         
[sudo] password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.1_Linux.run

The link below you sent focuses on developers incorporating packages managers, nothing in that link lead me to narrowing down how to download DaVinci Resolve

I went through the above link and decided I will stick to Davinci Resolve, thank you for the links. Any ideas what I need to do to install Davinci on Kde debian based on what I've done so far?

This is completely wrong again. You need to read the documentation again. You need to pass the package name to apt install, not a file. (that's why it was unable to locate, there is no such package, but a file).
From the other hand when the ls printed that run file you can chmod that file too. You made something in between (ls and chmod) which was not explained.
