Problems installing WD on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

Software Weather Display for Linux
1

Having problems installing WD on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

Downloaded the current weatherdisplay.tar.gz. Unarchived.

Neither ./GoWeather.sh nor sudo ./GoWeather.sh worked, Permission Denied.

So ran chmod u+x GoWeather.sh.

Now I get ./GoWeather.sh: line 14: ./: Is a directory[/font] which doesn’t look like something I can fix.

Am I barking completely up the wrong tree?

  1. Have you tried running the command using sudo? Does that change anything?

  2. What does ‘ls -la GoWeather.sh’ show?

  3. I don’t have a Linux version downloaded to look at…what is on line 14 of GoWeather.sh?

  1. sudo changes nothing

  2. -rwxr–r-- 1 support support 289 Oct 18 2017 GoWeather.sh
    (support is the root user)

  3. $DIR_PATH/ ./weatherdisplay

Sorry for the delay in replying…too much going on around Christmas and New Year!

  1. Do you know what $DIR_PATH is set to in the GoWeather.sh script and does it point to the directory that contains the weatherdisplay executable?

  2. Has the weatherdisplay executable got the ‘x’ bit set for the user you’re running the script as?

  3. I don’t know what the GoWeather.sh script does in total, but if you ‘cd’ into the directory containing the weatherdisplay executable and do ‘sudo ./weatherdisplay’ does that change anything?
