Description of Problem:
I'm trying to use terminator in a bash script but I keep getting an error stating that No such file or directory: ~/.config/terminator/config. and its keeping the terminals from popping up on screen. However when I run terminator on my terminal the window pops up. So I definitely have terminator installed I just don't know where terminator/config is.
Questions and summary of issue:
How would I check if terminator/config exists on my system?
Where would I find it since it isn't in ~/.config?
Why would this be happening?
Solutions that I know don't work and extra information
Uninstalling and reinstalling. I did it before I came to this site to ask.
These are the commands I used to install it the first time:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install terminator
I don't think I was at the home directory when I installed terminator if that matters.
How would I check if terminator/config exists on my system?
Either find the file using 'locate':
$ sudo apt install locate -y
$ sudo updatedb # this is to update the file database
$ locate config
Or even better, use stat:
$ stat ~/.config/terminator/config
Where would I find it since it isn't in ~/.config?
If the file does not exist, you cannot find it ofcourse.
Perhaps create the file yourself.
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/terminator/
$ touch ~/.config/terminator/config
Why would this be happening?
The systems provides an error message. Because it expects there to be file, which isn't.
Please read the documentation.
the config file is created automatically if you make same permanent changes.
start terminator
right click -> preferences
go to tab profiles -> sub tab colors
choose a different color profile e.g. "Solirized light" https://i.stack.imgur.com/QYFyp.png
close preferences and confirm the color of the terminator has
changed.
now the file "~/.config/terminator/config" has been created, containing the current user configuration.

Hello wonderful people.
I'm having a problem when following this tutorial to make a program that once worked on a mac work again after the upgrade.
http://bit.ly/1RkmdBA
However i'm not allowed to move anything over to lib folder. Im getting a circle with a line in it. Even while i'm holding the option key,and yes i'm the administrator.
The next step the writer suggested is to use sudo command. Im not so savy with code. Can someone tell me the exact command line.
If you would prefer to move from one location to another:
sudo mv ~/initial/file/location ~/destination/location
if you you would rather copy instead:
sudo cp ~/initial/file/location ~/destination/location
You simply add the sudo command to the beginning of another command, and it runs the command as root (it will prompt for your password first). For example, of you want to run this as root:
mv this-file /usr/lib/
Then you would change it to:
sudo mv this-file /usr/lib/
I have followed the following approach in order to install Torch in my machine (Mac).
http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html#_
When I am done with the installation, I type:
$ luarocks install image
or $ luarocks lis
or $th
in order to load the th or to make updates on the lua packages. It says "command not found". Do you have any idea how I can resolve this issue?
If you're on a Mac using the bash terminal, make sure that you've permanently added /Users/you/torch/install/bin to your PATH.
To do this:
Navigate in your terminal to the root directory by running the command:
$ cd
Using the text editor of your choice (emacs, vim, etc.) open the .bash_profile file for editing. For example:
$ emacs .bash_profile
Add the following line to the end of the file (replacing 'you' with your Mac username):
PATH=$PATH\:/Users/you/torch/install/bin ; export PATH
Save and exit the text editor
Source the changes by running:
$ source .bash_profile
Check that your PATH has been updated (look for /Users/you/torch/install/bin in the string returned):
$ echo $PATH
To make sure it has been changed permanently, completely quit Terminal, open it and run echo $PATH again
Now try th and it should run Torch!
For more help on PATH:

The Torch installation (at least for me) added the line . /Users/jb/torch/install/bin/torch-activate to my .profile file, not .bash_profile. I tried adding that exact line to .bash_profile but it didn't work, so based on the recommendations here I got rid of the trailing directory and such.
Have you updated your PATH? It should include something like
/home/user/torch/install/bin
I faced the same issue and following this post deleted and reinstalled everything. However in the end what helped was adding /home/user/torch/install/bin/ to the PATH variable.
I have resolved the issue. I have deleted torch and I have installed it again. I have updated my PATH, and I have ran the $ luarocks install image command. After all of these, I was able to ran $ th command and in general torch.
I've been following this tutorial in order to get SimpleOpenNI installed on my mac but I keep getting stuck at installing the OpenNI and NITE components because it requires me to navigate to the folders in Terminal and then run "sudo ./install.sh". I do this and I get this error:
sudo: ./install.sh: command not found
I've installed Command Line Tools in Xcode and everything.
Thanks
The reason why that happens is because the script you are trying to execute needs the right permissions.
Type:
sudo chmod a+x install.sh
and then try again.
In directory of install.sh
prompt$ sh install.sh
first open Terminal, type cd and than drag the map into Terminal and press enter. Now type sudo ./install.sh and it will work. Took me very long to find out. Hope it helps.
.sh scripts should have "\n" line breaks.
"Command not found" also occurs if "\r\n" line breaks are used.
Well at least this is the case on FreeBSD.
You need to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run as root, not autorun.sh
Once you've inserted the Guest Additions ISO, open Files and open the disc from the sidebar. Then, right-click in the background of the window where autorun.sh is and select
Open in > Terminal
Now you can run the following command to install the Guest Additions:
sudo ./VboxLinuxAdditions.run
I'm a newbie but here is an answer that may help with the sh problem...I am running Armbian on an orange pi prime H5 SBC and I had downloaded and unzipped arduino ide well after 2 hours of searching and trying I hit it ....open the directory where the file you want to open or install is ...now at the top of the directory open a terminal(under file it will say open a terminal here).now the sh filename.sh will work.
I'm currently going through http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ and it uses the command "mate" to access Textmate through the terminal. I have had Textmate on my Macbook Air (Lion OS) since I first bought it, but when I try to use a command like "mate .gitignore" the terminal gives me "mate: command not found".
I've looked through all other StackOverflow questions regarding this topic and have done the following:
Attempted to create a symbolic link through the terminal with this code.
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/bin
This code lets me enter my password and tells me the file exists, but still does not allow me to use the "mate" command.
Accessed Textmate/Help/Terminal Usage and tried to create a link for /usr/bin only for it to say operation not permitted.
Used alias mate='open -a textmate'. This works; however, I have to do it every time I open Terminal.
So, my question is can anyone tell me what is wrong? Love to figure this out!
Thank you!
First, you should not add anything to /usr/bin. You should add it into /usr/local/bin. Further, getting the message "file already exists" from ln means that it did not create the link. Try this:
ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/local/bin/mate
Depending on your current setup, this may have to be run with sudo. In general, if you don't know whether to run something with sudo or not, try without first and see if you get a permissions error, then use sudo.
The best way to do it is from TextMate -> preferences -> Terminal and then check install
all the previous methods didn't work for me.
Couldn't Create Link
Creating the link “/usr/bin/mate” failed with the following reason: Operation not permitted
I am getting this error when I attempt to link the terminal usage with TextMate.
I did this by going Help >> Terminal Usage...
And I tried to create a link in /usr/bin.
I think the problem is something to do with permission issue.
I am wondering if there is a way to work around this problem by changing bash file directly or something and make terminal recognize "mate" as a command.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Assuming Textmate is installed in /Applications the following command in the terminal should manually create the link for you:
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/bin
The command will ask you for your user account's password so it has the permissions necessary to create the link in /usr/bin/
There should be an option to create it in /usr/local/bin. Create it there. Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.
