I am an admin, running os 10.14. Exact terminal response is: -bash: ./bootstrap.sh: Permission denied
Anyone have thoughts about how to resolve this?
Resolved: This is probably very basic for a more experienced user, but for me, part of my learning curve. The error is due to the fact that I as a user – even admin level – I don’t have persmission to execute the bootstrap.sh file. To change this, navigate to the correct chapter starter folder, type: “chmod 744 bootstrap.sh” without the quote marks and then proceed as instructed in the book. You can do this each time you want to run a new boostrap.sh file (i.e., chapter by chapter) or experiment with using the recursive version of this command on a top-level folder. But, in that case I believe you would be changing executable permissions for all files within the sub-folders and I’m not sure what implications that would have. So, I’m likely going to use chmod on only the specific file each time.
You can also just run “bash bootstrap.sh”
