Installing Forge On Linux (Ubuntu 13.04) [Solved + Tutorial]

[TheDrunkMafia]

Hey,

 

So recently my hard drive broke and lost all my files, the up side to it was that I finally had a reason to install Linux without worrying about losing all my files, because well.... There already lost.

 

Anyway, I got my workspace set up and all the API's downloaded (MCP and Forge), but I have absolutely no Idea how to initiate the install.sh. I've tried the following commands in terminal:

dir/install.sh
python: can't open file 'install.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

sudo dir/install.sh
python: can't open file 'install.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

 

So yeah I'm pretty stumped. If anyone will be able to help or point me in the right direction, it would hugely appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Umm you kinda have to execute it from the folder install.sh is within.

Else it cant find things that it needs, example install.py

Just tried that:

sean@sean-Dell-DM061:~$ cd ~/Desktop/MCP/forge
sean@sean-Dell-DM061:~/Desktop/MCP/forge$ sudo install.sh
[sudo] password for sean: 
sudo: install.sh: command not found

 

Is there a specific command for just running .sh files?

Figured it out, wrong command. For those who want to know how to do it. Just follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Open up terminal and enter the following command "cd ~/path to forge api/

 

Step 2:Now type in "chmod +x install.sh"

 

Step 3:Not initiate the install "bash install.sh"

 

And it should now be running. If it does not work then close terminal and go back to step 1.
