Question after installation #2

Closed loisks317 closed 8 years ago

loisks317 commented 8 years ago

So I installed RST Lite and everything looks good, but when I try:

make_fit -new rawacf_file.rawacf > fitacf_file.fitacf

with the example rawacf file included, I get 'permission denied'. When adding sudo, I still get a permission denied. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Without any output, I'd say there could be a couple of issues with permissions. Do you have read permissions on the rawacf_file.rawacf? Do you have write permissions in the directory of where you're trying to create the fitacf_file.fitacf? Lastly, do you have executing permissions on the make_fit binary file located in ~/RSTLite/bin/?

To check permissions in linux, use ls -l. This will tell you the permissions of the file ordered by user, group, all as well as the user and group that is set for each.

Ack! I should have known that. Thank you ksterne, that was it and things are working smoothly now (I think AJ's comments on the RSTLite install page indicate this is the 'rejoice' step)
