Once I navigate to a certain directory that has a .run file in it, how do I execute that file using mac Terminal?
I have change the chmod 777 for fileName.run file and run it
$ chmod 777 file-name.run
$ ./file-name.run
but it does not work for me. any idea ?
it give me the following error.
$ ./ppasmeta-9.4.1.3-linux-x64.run: cannot execute binary file
Its postgres plus advanced server for linux I want to install on mac os-x .
As suggested by Muhammad Iqbal, you won't be able to run a Linux-specific binary/executable on Mac OS X without some modifications. It's like attempting to run an .exe on Linux - without wine. While Linux and OS X are similar, they are not that compatible. If you can get your desired program in the form of a .deb, that may work. If not, I would suggest either dual-booting your Mac with a small Linux distro (ie. DSL) or picking up a virtual machine. I've dual-booted before - it's a decent option for this situation if you have enough hard drive space. If another solution shows up, I'll be sure to let you know through this channel.
I am not sure what you are asking here but try this
./run
As I said in the comments, I don't think that Postgres Advanced Server is available for OSX. If Postgres 9.5.3 is suitable for your purposes, you could install homebrew and use it to install Postgres 9.5.3 with:
brew install postgresql
You can download the one-liner to install homebrew from here.

I'm using the Atom editor. Yesterday, if I typed:
sudo atom . it opened the current directory as root
sudo atom it opened Atom with whatever I last had open as root
Today if I run either of those commands nothing happens. The editor doesn't open and there are no error messages.
These terminal commands worked yesterday on these exact same files, today they do not.
How can I fix this?
Why is this happening?
If I have not provided enough information it's because I don't know what info one would need to have a fuller explanation of my circumstance. Let me know what I should add I'll happily edit this question to provide it.
Atom : 1.13.0
Electron: 1.3.13
Chrome : 52.0.2743.82
Node : 6.5.0
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Elementary OS Freya (64-bit)
After updating Atom text editor it seems I require to run --no-sandbox flag but after a while it becomes boring so I wrote a simple BASH script to be doing this for me:
eval "atom --no-sandbox flag"
just save this in a common directory that you frequently use and type ./atom_text_editor.sh in the terminal to deploy(Depending on the name you choose for your script)
A recommendation, when working on linux avoid using sudo or su instrucctions, they are intended to execute privileged instructions like system configurations. It might be related to permissions, execute ls -al and verify that the owner/group of yor files is root, if not, then check if "others" have read permission, if not, then thats is the problem.
Be aware running atom with sudo is not recommended.
I've had this problem for a few days, I installed atom using snap (on ubuntu 18.04) a few weeks ago, back then it worked perfectly, but the last few days if i ran 'sudo atom' nothing would happen at all, reinstalled it using snap, still didn't work, removed settings, still didn't work.
I ended up installing atom using the apt packagage manager and now it works. I used this guide: https://codeforgeek.com/install-atom-editor-ubuntu-14-04/
Furthermore when running atom with sudo it should be ran with the --no-sandbox flag.
Conclusion: seems to be a problem with atom when installed using snap.
I'm not a coder (just wanted to get that out there). I read an article about creating a silent doorbell (I have a dog that's insane).

I'm relatively computer literate. I followed the instructions for windows and download node.js. The instructions say to open a node.js command prompt and put in the following command:
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
npm install node-dash-button
the problem i'm having is 1) I'm getting an error saying "apt-get" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.
Reiterating that I am no nowhere near as sophisticated as the users i've seen on here and am just a guy trying to keep the baby sleeping b/c the dog can't shut up - is anyone able to help so I can then go to the next step of instructions?
Thanks so much in advance.

sudo apt-get is a linux packet manage, so you wouldn't want to do this on windows. As they have mentioned raspberry-pi's I gather that they have made the assumption that you would be on linux.
If you ran that command in a linux terminal it would install the preqequisites and then install node-dash-button in node.
Try just running the nodejs packet manager part:
npm install node-dash-button
The rest of that line is not node or windows.
Hopefully this will get you to the next stage :)
The whole tutorial asumes you being on a Linux/Unix system.
If you solve this issue you will run into the next if you don't know what the commands mean and how to translate them to windows.
For example
sudo node bin/findbutton
is a linux/unix command as well (which is the next step in your tutorial).
So i strongly suggest setting up a VM with linux (debian should do).
In WebStorm to get karma.conf running I need to configure it in a pop up window and enter the "path to the node.js interpreter".
(for some reason this information vanished after a restart)
Questions:
What is the path to the needed file?
Where is the node interpreter on Mac/Linux/Windows by default?
(I am on OS X)
Generally, on OSX and Linux, you can find any program with which program. In your case, type
which node
in terminal.
On windows command prompt
where node
On OSX if you've installed Node.js with brew:
/usr/local/bin/node
You can check the exact folder on your machine with the command which node
Important
When the finder opens on OSX, you won't be able to navigate to this path initially. You'll first need to navigate to the root folder e.g. Macintosh HD and then perform the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + . (. = dot = period) to be able to select hidden files and folders.
Ubuntu:
sudo apt install nodejs
whereis nodejs
nodejs: /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/lib/nodejs /usr/include/nodejs /usr/share/nodejs /usr/share/man/man1/nodejs.1.gz
Configuring NodeJS Intepreter in IntelliJ:
File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Node.js and NPM
Node interpreter: Add... (select from the above path or add it)
/usr/bin/nodejs
Then, click on Enable button and select the modules.
On OSX:
/usr/local/bin/node
well I got it by myself, but wanted to share the answer, as I couldn't find it on google / stack overflow and hope to save somebody some time
This can be useful for someone. I tried all the previous methods on Linux Ubuntu 19.10, none worked, neither reinstalling nodejs. So I installed Webstorm via snap, with:
sudo snap install webstorm
sudo snap install webstorm --classic
And surprise, Nodejs was already configured in this version. Then I erased the webstorm version that I installed from Ubuntu Softwared.
That worked for me and was easy. Hope that can give you a clue.
I'm trying to run the time command for a file on a virtual machine running Fedora 19 64-bit and I get the message "/usr/bin/time: No such file or directory". I tried googling, but it appears it's something that I should already have. How do I get this on my computer?
For those on a raspberry pi or similar debian-based distributions, I found that I could install the package time (sudo apt install time) to obtain access to the time command.
Edit: For Fedora-based systems, the package name might be different. Try a dnf search time, followed by a sudo dnf install {package_name}. I don't have a Fedora machine immediately to hand to get the exact package name from.
bash/zsh/modern shells usually implement a basic time command as a builtin. So it won't exist on the filesystem, but time mycommand should work.
If you want the "proper" time command (with more options eg: -l/-v), then you'll need to install it via apt/yum/etc. You'll need to run it as /usr/bin/time mycommand so the shell-builtin doesn't get invoked.
It might be in other locations. I'd start by typing:
which time
This command will give you the path to time, if it's anywhere in your path.
If you need to build it yourself, you can get the source here:

im trying to install xampp on "new" linux mint machine.
However im quite a noob to linux since i havnt used it for that long.
When i try to run the file that ive download from the following page:
Xampp download
i get the following error two errors:
Could not display "/home/marc/Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run".
and if i click yes
Installing mime type handlers isn't supported
To search and install software which can open certain file types you have to install app-install-data.
can anyone tell me what the problem is and how i might fix it?
you need to execute the file (e.g. open a terminal, navigate to your Downloads folder and run bash xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run (possibly it might need to be run otherwise, but thats my best guess)).
alternatively you might be presented to run/execute the file (instead of displaying it). if so, choose this option.
on the other hand, you might consider installing apache/php/mysql via your package manager.
what you can do is that you can use the chmod +x /your folder location/.run file that you want to install
after that you can run following command
./and your .run file name
example:-
in my case :- User#user~$su root
it will ask for password so give it
User#user~chmod +x /Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run
User#user~./xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run
