Application installed, Bash: command not found


hi there,

New to the forum, so hope I am doing thing correctly.

I have a Raspberry Pi and I am trying to install tboplayer which is a python GUI of omxplayer. Omxplayer itself works nicely in it's simplest form, but trying to install the GUI part has become somewhat problematic.

I have been following these instructions: https://github.com/KenT2/tboplayer/b...r/tboplayer.py

The setup.sh file was changed to executable using:
[CODE]
chmod +x setup.sh
[CODE]
then installed and a message came up saying that if all was well type 'tboplayer' in the command line or to click the link. Command line returns:
[CODE]
bash: tboplayer: command not found
[CODE]

and the link which points to the same file does not do anything. What does this mean? and what are the next steps I need to take in this troubleshooting.

Kind regards
iFunc

Additional info:

typing:
./tboplayer
gives
bash: ./tboplayer: No such file or directory
However it is clearly there in front of me.

Kind regards

P.S. how do I get the [CODE] blocks to work?

To answer the last question first: [ / code] at the end (without the blanks).

You can't run tboplayer because the current directory is not in your execution path (i.e. the variable PATH). It's a security risk to put it in your PATH, so don't.
./tboplayer might fail because the tboplayer script has a first line similar to #!/usr/bin/sh, and there is no /usr/bin/sh. If so, the first line has to be corrected.

To learn about the #! construct, read the start of the Advanced Bash Scripting guide http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html.
