Issue with opening Xmage on Mac OSX

[Argentum]

While attempting to follow the instructions provided for using Xmage for Mac OSX, it was unable to find the file/directory when I was using the command prompt specified in the instructions in the terminal.

I'm running OS X version 10.9.4 and Java ver 8 update 20. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If it does not help can you describe more in detail what you do and what exactly happens?

Above is the error I'm getting when I run the chmod command. Java version is reading "1.8.0_20"

Thank you for the help.

Run ls -al from the command line and show us the results.

My gut feeling is you are not in the directory where you downloaded startClient.command.

You need to use cd (change directory) to navigate to the place startClient.command is.

I did move it to the desktop from the downloaded files subdirectory. I'll try a fresh download tomorrow and repeat the same iterations.

[RedDeckWins]

run

find ~ -name startClient.command

it should print out a file path. Use this below instead of <filepath>

run chmod +x <filepath>

We have success! Thank you so much for your help!

I've tried the same steps and it keeps giving me the same error message. Not sure what to do.

Hey buried-alive,
Can we get a bit more info?

Where did you download the files?
after the command fails, what is the message?
please run "ls -al" with no quotes.
please run "find ~ -name startClient.command" with no quotes.

With the results from the 4 things above, I may be able to help you.

I'm using java 1.8. Every time I type the command "no such file or directory" pops up in the terminal.

I'm having trouble posting pictures of the terminal results, so I'll post it later.

To me it looks like that you are not in the correct directory. For the chmod command to succeed, you need to be in the same directory that you d/l to, or provide the fully qualified path.

please run "ls -al ~/Downloads" with no quotes, or the find command I provided in a previous post.

Hey guys, I've been getting slightly different issue to the others here,but I think it's related. Do you guys have any idea on what's causing it?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Mods, I wasn't sure if I should have made a new thread. If I should have made a new one, I'm really sorry.

Hey Khrynos,
do not type run before chmod. Just chmod. For example, on my computer, I would run something like below. Replace ~/Downloads/example with the path on your computer thought:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/example

Thanks for the quick reply, RDW!

Did as you said and I got the following...

[RedDeckWins]

put sudo in front of chmod.

It may ask you for your password when you run the command, just type it in and press enter.
