Permission denied?

Post by euamolate »

Hello there (:
I was trying to install the game fez on my snow leopard by the way of wine, with the help of the following article: http://www.cultofmac.com/185565/how-to- ... feature/2/

Everything was doing fine until the "cd /locationOfDownloadedFile" part. In terminal, I tried entering "cd ~/Downloads/fez.exe" and it said that it's "Not a directory". Then I typed only "~/Downloads/fez.exe" in, and the answer I got was "Permission denied"

I've tried accessing it through the sudo command and changing the file permissions, but none of those worked. Do any of you guys know what I'm missing? Thank you so so much in advance.

cd means "change directory"

You can only cd into a directory (aka folder), not into a file... (the exe)

your directory is ~/Downloads .... and the file is fez.exe

That means you'd go...
cd ~/Downloads

then to run that exe in wine you'd do...
wine fez.exe

None of this really has anything to do with Wine, just basic command line usage.

Thank you, I really appreciate the help. Yes, I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, but I truly didn't have any clue.
Unfortunately it seems that this game encounters major issues when played on mac, so no deal. But thank you again (:
