Ubuntu folks, I need help with the correct command line to perform the following install...

After searching for how to do this simple function, I only found what to do, and not “how” to install this app. Due to past experiences I am leery of putting commands into the terminal when I don’t know exactly what I’m doing. All I need ,I think, is the exact commands to change the directory to the desktop where I have the extracted file for both ubuntu and Mac.

"To install the native application

1. Open a terminal window and point it into this directory

2. run ./install.sh"

when I pasted the command into "terminal" I got the message: "No such file or directory". So...

“If you get "No such file or directory" message, it means the current directory is not the root of the extracted directory.”

“You need to switch your terminal directory to the root of the extracted folder. You can do this by using cd directory-path-here command. In Mac OS, type cd followed by a space. Now drag the folder and drop it in the terminal application and press the Enter key. To verify current directory is changed, type pwd and press the Enter key. This command prints the current directory in the terminal. Now follow the instruction one more time.”

I have the file I want to install on my desktop. So what is the exact command line/words that I need to type into the terminal for “cd directory-path-here.” And for Mac, “type cd followed by a space.”

Thanks, Charles

Hello Charles,
You may still need to change your directory to the desktop where your application is located within your terminal, so that you can then continue to run the “./install.sh” command. The terminal initially starts within your user home directory, so you will probably need to change it.
So in this case it may be something like typing in Terminal:

So in this case it may be something like typing in Terminal:

“cd /home/desktop”

The command “cd” literally stands for “change directory”, if that provides any context.

You can also bring up a visual list of files located in that directory by typing “ls”. This way you can see if your install file is located in that directory, else you may need to check another.

Once you have located your file in the directory, you can run it by typing out “./install.sh”. Though you may need to provide permission for the installer to run, but we can get to that later if needed.

Hopefully that provides a bit of help for the time being. The terminal can be a bit intimidating at first, but once you’ve learned some the commands it becomes a lot easier to handle.

No worries, it’s not a dumb question. Yes, it will return back to the home directory once you’ve opened a new terminal. Glad to help.

Try cd Desktop
When using the terminal, you have to remember that it is case
sensitive.

Charles, to run ". /install.sh", you must first "cd" to the directory in which it resides - "cd /home/savanne/Desktop/native client".  Type "ls" and make sure you see install.sh listed before trying to run it.  Try that. 
You may need to be in the same directory as the install.sh file when running it, or there may be a bug in the script, or you don't have something installed you need for this application.  What is the name of this app, and where did you get it from?  What does it do?

The command “cd” literally stands for “change directory”, if that provides any context.

You can also bring up a visual list of files located in that directory by typing “ls”. This way you can see if your install file is located in that directory, else you may need to check another.

Once you have located your file in the directory, you can run it by typing out “./install.sh”. Though you may need to provide permission for the installer to run, but we can get to that later if needed.

Hopefully that provides a bit of help for the time being. The terminal can be a bit intimidating at first, but once you’ve learned some the commands it becomes a lot easier to handle.

I have the file I want to install on my desktop. So what is the exact command line/words that I need to type into the terminal for “cd directory-path-here.” And for Mac, “type cd followed by a space.”

This is what drives me crazy about linux...all this advice online and from people like you and nothing works!

Anyway Bruce, thanks so much for your time. I’m gonna let this go: I don’t know if Cox is just underperforming, as often does, or if the servers who host free videos have been stepped on by the powers that be, but, All of the download extensions mostly now say there is no data available, or the few places where you still start a download all fail the download at exactly 189 Mbs. So, I doubt even if I was successful at installing the natvie client that it would be of any benefit….

Plus, I have bigger fish to fry. I’ve been researching getting into crypto currencies. And just to get started I need to extract and install a bunch of stuff just to set up a wallet. I’m burned out on “comparing” all the various, and often contradictory, online guides, and I have never been successful in extracting and installing stuff in Ubuntu.

Do, have any experience with bitcoin and setting up a wallet on ubuntu? No need to respond if the answer is no

Charles, for a path with a space, you need to wrap your path in quotes or double quotes. 
cd "/home/savanne/Desktop/native client". 
An easier way is to type out part of the path and hit the tab key.

cd /home/savanne/Desktop/nativ <hit Tab here to auto-complete>

<TAB> can be used anywhere in the command line to auto-complete commands.  

Please send the link to the app you downloaded so I can look into the install error.  There are a huge amount of video download apps and plugins.  Maybe I can figure out a fix.

Hi Charles, sorry for the frustrating.  I have never used a Mac, so I can't speak on them. I did notice that in your Bash line, you did not wrap it in quotes, so it would fail due to the space in the line. 
I do not know much about crypto currencies, but I have read a lot of advice saying you should not keep an online walker, but keep one on a removable drive or even a paper wallet, to avoid theft. 
I can possibly help with the commands to extract though, if you are downloading a tarball (extension is .tar, .tar.gz, etc.).   Bruce

Charles, you do not need to type anything in the menu bar.
Use the user-wide install.  Type those two commands in that order, while in the same directory as the file you are extracting.  That should be it, as long as you don't get any errors.  Look for a Readme file in the extracted folders as well.

Then once the file is extracted, it looks like I have to enter the commands on the other screen shot. Which of those tow sets should I enter into the terminal,  And there are two lines of commands i each set, do I enter the first line and hit enter, then enter the second line?

or do I enter both lines at once.

Ubuntu folks, I need help with the correct command line to perform the following install...

After searching for how to do this simple function, I only found what to do, and not “how” to install this app. Due to past experiences I am leery of putting commands into the terminal when I don’t know exactly what I’m doing. All I need ,I think, is the exact commands to change the directory to the desktop where I have the extracted file for both ubuntu and Mac.

"To install the native application

1. Open a terminal window and point it into this directory

2. run ./install.sh"

when I pasted the command into "terminal" I got the message: "No such file or directory". So...

“If you get "No such file or directory" message, it means the current directory is not the root of the extracted directory.”

“You need to switch your terminal directory to the root of the extracted folder. You can do this by using cd directory-path-here command. In Mac OS, type cd followed by a space. Now drag the folder and drop it in the terminal application and press the Enter key. To verify current directory is changed, type pwd and press the Enter key. This command prints the current directory in the terminal. Now follow the instruction one more time.”

I have the file I want to install on my desktop. So what is the exact command line/words that I need to type into the terminal for “cd directory-path-here.” And for Mac, “type cd followed by a space.”

Thanks, Charles
