[SOLVED] F17 software install

most likely your file is not allowed to be accessed by your user, or it isnt allowed to execute.

for this try:

Code:

$ chmod +x '/home/timmytim/Downloads/TorGuard_unix_3_99FF.sh'

if this gives a permission denied then do this:

Code:

$ sudo chmod a+x '/home/timmytim/Downloads/TorGuard_unix_3_99FF.sh'

This is for execution only, so if you still can not run it let me/us know again

timmytim@redhatlaptop ~$ chmod +x '/home/timmytim/Downloads/TorGuard_unix_3_99FF.sh'
timmytim@redhatlaptop ~$

timmytim@redhatlaptop ~$ sudo chmod a+x '/home/timmytim/Downloads/TorGuard_unix_3_99FF.sh'
[sudo] password for timmytim:
timmytim@redhatlaptop ~$

That didnt work either guys

Dont know if you did from that reply,

That was only to set the access to the file correctly.
Do run the file like you did before:

Code:

$ sh '/home/timmytim/Downloads/TorGuard_unix_3_99FF.sh'

Installing the TorGuard RPM package should result in some "TorGuard app" so check your menu or at least list the contents of the package (sudo rpm -ql TorGuard) but other than that, correct me if I'm wrong, TorGuard the software is not Open Source (at least I haven't been able to find it) and TorGuard the service is a commercial one.

IMHO their help desk should answer questions.
You paid for it.

Permission denied usually means you have to be root to execute that script...?

Sorry I've never heard of the TorGuard app - that's the thing - you've got it installed now, HOW you use it is up to you...

Well normally just installing the .rpm should do. So nope. But anyways, in general just install software from the repositories if they are there. Way easier
