IBM now has IBM i Access for Mac, with 5250 emulator being a very desirable feature, but the default install approach isn't the "Mac way" where users would expect it to exist in /Applications. How can I get it installed like a normal Mac app with an icon/application in the /Applications folder?
This is what worked for me. First download the zip file from here
Open up Mac's Terminal app (Cmd+Space and type Terminal)
cd into where the zip file now exists:
cd ~/Downloads
Use unzip to get the zip file contents into the /Applications folder:
unzip IBMiAccessT_v1r1.zip -d "/Applications/IBM i Access Client Solutions.app"
cd into the following folder where acs_mac_app.zip now exists:
cd /Applications/IBM\ i\ Access\ Client\ Solutions.app/Mac_Application
Now unzip the acs_mac_app.zip file into /Applications which will add content to /Applications/IBM i Access Client Solutions.app
unzip acs_mac_app.zip -d /Applications
You should now have "IBM i Access Client Solutions" with an icon in the /Applications folder, as shown below. Double click to start or do Cmd+Spacebar to open Spotlight and type "ibm" to locate it, as shown below.

I'm using a Linux Debian terminal, trying to install a Github .zip file by following a walkthrough (from Chromebook). They're using a Windows terminal and access the zip file from a G: drive. They run the following:
C:\Users\zasur>G:
G:\>cd filename.zip
G:\filename>npm install
Which installs the Github zip. I've looked all over online and tried a few different solutions but can't get past the second command they run.
I was able to open /mnt/chromeos/MyFiles/Downloads from Linux by sharing the Downloads folder with it.
I'm not sure how to change the directory from here to the filename.zip and/or run commands from it. Whenever I try to run cd filename.zip or cd /mnt/chromeos/MyFiles/Downloads/filename.zip it always fails. Is this even possible on a Chromebook?
I am new to mac and bit confused about file structure .I am trying to download and access ngrok from my mac .I used below command to unzip the ngrok zip file
unzip /Users/apocha/Downloads/ngrok-v3-stable-darwin-amd64.zip
but getting below error:
Archive: /Users/apocha/Downloads/ngrok-v3-stable-darwin-amd64.zip
error: cannot create ngrok
Permission denied
This is folder where I have ngrok zip file /Users/apocha/Downloads
Can someone help me fix this issue ?
I tried changing permissions of the file using below command ,
chmod -x ngrok
but got error
chmod: ngrok: No such file or directory
Hey #Apoorva you can also use the UI to unzip the file, should be possible to unzip by double click it when viewing the file with Finder app...
Otherwise, just tested it on command line, cd ~/Downloads and then unzip ./ngrok-v3-stable-darwin-amd64.zip should also work.
Seems odd there are no permissions in your own downloads folder, but the last command chmod -x ngrok should also reference the exact filename and not "ngrok" if you want to change permissions for that file.
I am running Fedora 36. On my way to install Discord, I came through a process, here it is:
Downloaded discord.rar.gz
Unpack the file
Open the extracted directory
Found the file Discord with no extension:
I just double-clicked the file, it started installing (in GUI).
After it was installed, I still could not find it in App Drawer and when I run the same Discord file with no extension, it just opens the Discord app.
I am curious to know what's happening here. How can I get the app in the app drawer? Note that I tried copying the file to another location and then double-clicking it. It did nothing.
I clicked the file Discord in the directory. I was expecting that it was an installer and it would install the application, and it would be available in the app drawer. But, after it was installed, it didn't appear in the app drawer. Also double-clicking the same file again, opens the Discord app.
These are the steps to take if you want to keep changes to a minimum:
Download Discord for Linux tar.gz
Create the directory where you will install Discord
sudo mkdir /usr/share/discord
Extract and store in the directory created in the previous step
sudo tar xvzf discord-0.0.17.tar.gz -C /usr/share/discord
Copy the application launcher to the right place
sudo cp /usr/share/discord/Discord/discord.desktop /usr/share/applications
Point the icon to the right location
sudo sed -i 's|Icon=discord|Icon=/usr/share/discord/Discord/discord.png|g' /usr/share/applications/discord.desktop
Now if you go to Applications > Internet should be there.
Uninstall the app, or delete everything associated with it. Redownload, move to applications, and there open it for the first time (install it), that should do the work
I am trying to configure Flume. When I run the following command:
sudo mv Downloads/flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/lib/apache-1.7.0-bin/lib/
I get the following error:
mv: cannot move Downloads/flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar' to/usr/lib/apache-1.7.0-bin/lib/': No such file or directory.
Any one can help me please?
Thanks.
In step 5 you are asked to download the file:
Use below link and download flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOTS.jar
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Cl0IfLnRozUHcyNDBJWnNxdHc/view?usp=sharing
Then at the start of step 6 it says:
Move the flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar file from Downloads directory
to lib directory of apache flume:
Command: sudo mv Downloads/flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/lib/apache-flume-1.4.0-bin/lib/
This step has assumed that your downloads folder is called Downloads and is a subfolder of the one that your console is open at the time. If this is not the case, use the cd command to move to the folder where the newly downloaded file exists, and run sudo mv flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/lib/apache-flume-1.4.0-bin/lib/
Alternatively if you have access to a desktop on the machine, just cut and paste the downloaded file from where it went when you downloaded it from the internet into the folder /usr/lib/apache-flume-1.4.0-bin/lib/
I downloaded firefox developer edition and extracted it from tar.bz2, tryid to install it by running this ./firefox command but it opens it only temporarily but I wnat to install it to my computer. I use Linux Mint 17 cinnamon
Download it from here - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
Save the folder somewhere and open the file called "firefox" (the one next to firefox-bin)
As a linux Mint user this is the most effective method I have found. It allows me to keep stock Firefox separate from developer.
Download from here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
Extract and move.
$ tar xjf firefox-45.0a2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
$ sudo mv firefox /usr/local/firefox_dev
Create a desktop entry at ~/.local/share/applications/firefox_dev.desktop
OR
on some distros here /usr/share/applications/...
Formatted Like...
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox Developer
GenericName=Firefox Developer Edition
Exec=/usr/local/firefox_dev/firefox
Terminal=false
Icon=/usr/local/firefox_dev/browser/icons/mozicon128.png
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;X-Developer;
Comment=Firefox Developer Edition Web Browser.
Should show up in the app panel promptly.
I have upgraded my firefox to firefox-developer using the steps below:

tar xvjf path_of_tar_file
b. Using archieve manager
Change permission for /opt/firefox-developer folder
a. Using terminal
sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/firefox-developer

Open Nautilus:
a. Click on files icon at upper-left corner of screen >> Preferences >> Behaviour tab

After that just run the Firefox installer without sudo (Choose installation path then language and it's Done ):
umake web firefox-dev
