apktool.jar fails to work

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.open terminal
2.type apktool.jar d <apk>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: decompiling of the apk
what actually happens: message prints saying "permission denied"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.1

Please provide any additional information below.
any help with this would be of great help as i am trying to figure out how to 
use this software to develop a new app

I am having the same issue. I get permission denied. I copied all files to 
usr/bin directory

You can't run apktool that way. apktool.jar is a Java library and it isn't 
executable directly - you can run it by: "java -jar apktool.jar". Or you could 
use apktool/apktool.bat script (not "apktool.jar") which does exactly the same 
thing as above. It's distributed in apktool-install-* packages.
