zsh: permission denied: discordo

[jonaspiterek]

Hey I just installed discordo, super exited to try it out and got this error message when trying to run it. zsh: permission denied: discordo can anyone help me with what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

Permission denied means that the permissions of the file dose not allow you to execute it.
You can change that using the command:

chmod +x discordo

to add the execute permission to the discordo binary.

I thought so too. Also tried it with sudo but nothing changed, I still get the same error even after logging out and back in.

Could you paste the output of

ls -l discordo ?

BTW: I cannot do ls -l discordo I had to do ls -l /usr/local/bin/discordo

I believe you need to copy only the binary file discordo to /usr/local/bin, and not the complete directory

[therealolie]

i think you may have copied the entire folder, meaning that the location of the executable is /usr/local/bin/discordo/discordo

you only need to move the discordo executable to /usr/local/bin, the rest of the folder is useless (after compilation that is)
the error is kinda misleading, cuz /usr/local/bin/discordo is a folder, and you can never execute folders
