running shell script: command not found

tripat · 07-07-2004, 03:05 AM

Hi,

I am trying to run a shell script from a third party which is very reliable and they say to run install.sh script, but when I try to run this:

prompt> ./install.sh
or
prompt> ./install
or
prompt> .install

It says command no found.

Pls help.

The script might not have execute permission... "chmod u+x install.sh". Then, "./install.sh" should, as long as you are in the directory where the script is.

well if you are in the right directory and "./install.sh" does not work, you may have to type "sh install.sh". if that doesn't work then try "sh ./install.sh", do ya get the concept!?
