You should probably read the readme.txt and ReleaseNotes.pdf files first.

However: There is a script install.sh in the folder, so what you should probably do, is to create a folder (say wireless) in your home folder /home/your_username and copy the contents of the Linux folder into it.

Then open a terminal and type:

sudo /home/your_username/wireless/install.sh and hit ENTER

That should do the trick. If everything works fine, you can delete the wireless folder afterwards.

Guys,
Anyone here to help?

5

Did you follow the steps @Mina recommended?
If it did not work please add information about the trouble. Error messages, etc…

6

Where is the “try and reply”?

7

I tried it but it did not work…

Oh!!
I forgot that when I was uploading that video of the error which the terminal was showing,
I guess there was a power-cut.

Sorry, Guys,
I totally forgot that the video was not uploaded.

Thank You :pray: :pray:

Is it uploaded by now? Still doesn’t seem to work.

Read this please:

Now think, what did you wrong?
:slight_smile:
Hint: ./

Sorry, can’t get you or the article…

13

Did you read it?
This is your part:

Unix (and Unix-like systems like Linux) shells do not check the current directory for executables before checking the PATH environment variable, and Unix systems tend not to include ./ in the PATH for security reasons. By having to specify

./executable

rather than just

executable

the user is saying, “yes, I do want to run this executable in the current directory”

How did you try to start install.sh? :wink:

14

Oh!!
So, I have to do ./install.sh?

15

:smiley:
Of course, still you need sudo to get the root rights.
The solution of the puzzle for now is:
sudo ./install.sh

I guess you learned something today :wink:

16

Still showing an error.
Sorry for disturbing you.

17

Is that install.sh in that (current) dirctory?
Is it executable?

18

Oh wait
I did sudo bash ./install.sh
Some programs ran I guess but one more error.

Yes
It is the current directory.
