Cannot run uMongo on Ubuntu 14

  • 772

I've downloaded uMongo to my Ubuntu 14 OS.

I've extracted the zip to a directory.

When I double click it, I just get a text editor opened.

When I try to open it from terminal, nothing is happening:

username:~/Software/umongo-linux-all_1-6-2$ chmod +x launch-umongo.sh
username:~/Software/umongo-linux-all_1-6-2$

Any help will be profoundly appreciated!

    Doing

    username:~/Software/umongo-linux-all_1-6-2$ chmod +x launch-umongo.sh

    would only set the permissions of launch-umongo.sh to execute and not launch it.

    To launch it from the terminal, type ./launch-umongo.sh after doing the chmod +x command from earlier. Since you have set it to have execute permissions, you can run the script from the file manager by double-clicking it.

    The reason why you get a text editor when you run it is because the file only has read/write permissions from the start when you extracted it.
