I'm trying to run the test1 in Ubuntu 20.04

kamogelo@kamogelo:/usr/bin/gmt-for-geodesy/0_hw1$ ./test_1.sh GPL Ghostscript 9.55.0: Could not open the file test1.pdf .

Cutting it a big close to the workshop with install issues, no? If you have installed things in the system directory /usr/bin then you dont in general have permissions to create files. We recommend you close the gmt-for-geodesy to one of your own directories (e.g., home directory) and run things from there.

Thank you for the speedy response. I'm really doing my best to keep up but I also had to submit my proposal today but I'm sure I'll be on top of my game from today onwards.Thank you, I'll try that. Kind regards Kamogelo

No worries. And I mean "clone" not close above.

I figured :). Thank you!
