Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I am trying to run the downloaded script of RTC module with following commands:

 

$ chmod +x install-piface-real-time-clock.sh

$ sudo ./install-piface-real-time-clock.sh

 

but I am getting error as :

sudo : ./install-piface-real-time-clock.sh : command not found

 

Now how should I run it?

    Put sudo in front of the chmod command and change +x to a+x

    sudo chmod a+x install-piface-real-time-clock.sh

    To clarify:

    chmod +x means "allow the owner of the program - and only that person - the permission to run it"

    the next line fails because you are asking root to run the program. The program is not owned by root.

     

    Please follow my instructions and it will work.

    I think that there really ought to be some basic  Scripting admin type things on E14 as well as the hello world LED GPIO type stuff.

     

    May have found a niche!
