How do i mount a keyboard or get to /keyboard/ in a shell? #43

I have just received a nice looking ErgoDox EZ, and now I want to change the layout

If you're looking to customize a keyboard that currently runs QMK or TMK , find your keyboard's directory under /keyboard/ and read the README file. This will get you all set up.

But how do i mount it to be able to find the /keyboard/ folder? It behaves just like a keyboard when i plug it in? There is no volume mounted etc... I'm on a mac

Hit CMD+space, type in "Terminal" and that should get you going :)

➜ ~ cd /keyboard/ cd: no such file or directory: /keyboard/

You need to download the firmware, then cd to that folder, then cd keyboard/ (leave off the leading slash).

Thanks, making progress.

So I want to change keymap, I have edited keyboard/ergodox_ez/keymaps/keymap_default.c. Any tips on how i get that on to the keyboard itself?
