Hello

I have the Roland Cloud from Razor for Mac and he says to drag and drop the script file into terminal to patch, however when I drag it into terminal and put my password in it says permission denied, as in disk permissions...Anyone know how to get around this?

I have tried altering the Mac HD disk permissions but it keeps denying me

Thanks

 

Use Permissions Reset2 or BatChmod. The file has incorrect permissions. don't ever change permissions on a hard disk without really knowing you have to. If you have a command script which contains unencrypted plaintext; you can even open in it TextEdit, copy all the commands, and then paste it into your terminal.

 

#!/bin/bash

function danger {
printf "\e[1;31m> %s\e[0m\n" "$1"
}

function success {
printf "\e[1;32m> %s\e[0m\n" "$1"
}

function warning {
printf "\e[1;33m> %s\e[0m\n" "$1"
}


if ! command -v xattr &> /dev/null; then
danger "xattr command not found!"
exit 1
fi

if ! command -v codesign &> /dev/null; then
danger "codesign command not found! Please install Command Line Tools for Xcode."
exit 1
fi

success "TR-909 v1.0.9 is successfully patched!"

That is what it is showing me when I open it in a text editor

 

that is plaintext which you could paste the entire thing all at once into your Terminal. You could edit it out in your post or add the spoiler tags. That is only for 1 plugin of the 10 or whatever it will install.

any time i paste something like this into terminal, I always issue a simple sudo command first; so that the terminal session will request your root password before you do your paste. The command will want your password entered, but terminal will keep flooding/pasting stuff. so do a sudo whoami command; it will ask for password and you can enter it cleanly and it will return a simple response of "root". Then do your paste into the terminal, or drag your command into the terminal.

use permissions reset2 on this one because it is a lengthy script. https://ohanaware.com/permissionsreset/. just check every box on it's little gui. If this does not work, remind me of your MacOS version. You could put info that in your signature even if you get sick of typing it out.

 

did chmod 755..seemed to work...cheers
