I am using Imageimagick to crop arieal images in equal sizes.
Searching Google imagemagick tutorials led me to Fred Weinhaus scripts tutorial which I followed. When I am passing the command on bash or cmd based on syntax given in this website (bash /fullpathto/scriptname.sh with arguments /fullpathto/inputimage /fullpathto/outputimage)
I am getting error
$ overlapcrop -s 128 -o 50% -m matrix -M -L \
-R 'F:\bash\top_potsdam_2_10_RGB' 'F:\bash\o.jpg'
error Invalid Parameter - F:\bash\top_potsdam_2_10_RGB
FILE F:\bash\top_potsdam_2_10_RGB DOES NOT EXIST OR IS NOT AN ORDINARY FILE, NOT READABLE OR HAS ZERO SIZE
Even if we set the directory in the path, we get the same error:
$ overlapcrop -s 128 -o 50% -m matrix -M -L -R top_potsdam_2_10_RGB.png o.png
--Screenshots of imagemagick --help and convert --help
error I am getting
Windows is useless when it comes to quoting, so maybe try escaping the % sign by adding a second one or a caret (^) in front of it.
Also, try removing the F: from the paths and try putting the files in the current directory in case the slashes are causing errors.
Finally, you may have your PATH set incorrectly so that when the script executes the convert command it finds the Windows utility that converts filesystems to NTFS rather than the ImageMagick utility that converts images.
Try running:
convert /?
and seeing if you get an error/help message from Windows CONVERT.EXE or something from ImageMagick. If you get the Windows one, your PATH is incorrect and you need to put the directory where you installed ImageMagick ahead (in front of) C:\WINDOWS\System32 or wherever Windows CONVERT.EXE lives and restart your Command Prompt window.
I have written a Unix command to copy a file from one location to other and saved it with script.sh in my E:\ drive in Windows10. However,while executing through the command prompt by going to the path where this script is located,it throws pop up windows saying "how do you want to open this file?".Command in the script as below:
cd E:/source
for f in *.txt
do
cp -v "$f" E:/Destination/"${f%.txt}"$(date +%m%d%y).txt
done
Please help to fix this error.Thanks in advance.
When I try to run Zipalign on an apk I get the error "Command not found"
I am not that familiar with using terminal commands on the MAC but I have navigated to the SDK/Tools folder and run the following command:
zipalign -v 4 Project1.apk Project1-aligned.apk
I get Command not found
I have tried placing the apks in the Tools folder and same result.
Can someone help me to understand where the apks should be located and where I should run zipalign from?
Thanks, I am very frustrated about this as it seems so simple.
You can find correct path with this command:
find ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools -name "zipalign"
Perhaps the current directory is not in your path?
Try adding "./" before your command so
./zipalign -v 4 Project1.apk Project1-aligned.apk
You will find the zipalign tool at /path/to/sdk/build-tools/<build-tools-version>/zipalign NOT in the tools folder anymore.
~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/xxxx/zipalign
Drag this to terminal or save this in your path.
xxxx -> Version
Zipalign is a command that located at $ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/{android-version}/.
Hope it helped.
A simple one-liner:
This adds a line in your profile, to add the directory which contains the zipalign executable to your path
Then reloads the profile
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/23.0.1/" >> ~/.bash_profile && . ~/.bash_profile
Make sure to replace 23.0.1 with your installed version
$ ls -l ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 23.0.1 <---
Now you should be able to use zipalign regardless of your current working dir
$ zipalign
on the mac with the zsh console, my solution was
command 1)
find ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools -name "zipalign"
----------------------------------------------------------
/Users/macOs/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3/zipalign
/Users/macOs/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/26.0.2/zipalign
/Users/macOs/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/25.0.2/zipalign
/Users/macOs/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/27.0.3/zipalign
command 2)
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3/" >> ~/.bash_profile && . ~/.bash_profile
command 3)
ls -l ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/
command 4)
zipalign -v 4 app-release-unsigned.apk nameApp.apk
2hours resume for newbies (like me) :
If you type this command :
zipalign -v 4 platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk app-release.apk
Witch gives you :
command not found: zipalign
It's maybe that the path is somewhere wrong.
If you have this :
Unable to locate an executable at "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_201.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/apt" (-1)
It confirms that its not really as it should be. So, to execute zipalign and finally publish your app, you have to go in the correct repository and execute commande.
1. Go to the correct repo to execute command :
The path is cd /Users/xxxyour_user_namexxx/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/xxxxx/
cd /Users/greg/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3
2. Execute your zipalign command, don't forget to precise the path of apk file :
Obviously, chance "greg" and "myapp" with your user name & app name.
./zipalign -v 4 /Users/greg/Desktop/AppLocal/myapp/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk /Users/greg/Desktop/AppLocal/myapp/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
Hope it helps.
Search it and reference it... I have it here and reference it like this:
/Users/lioncio/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4W/zipalign bla bla bla (all the options of the command!)
And worked
Relax! , Just Use Locate Command in Terminal WHEREVER it is , it will come out
tom-MacBook-Air:kavform_app tom$ locate zipalign
/Users/tom/Software/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/24.0.1/zipalign
/Users/tom/Software/android-sdk-macosx/docs/tools/help/zipalign.html
In my case it was burried over here
/Users/tom/Software/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/24.0.1/zipalign -v 4 /Users/tom/kavwork/kavform/kavform_app/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk BrideToBe.apk
add it to the path
on terminal
find path for zip align
find ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools -name "zipalign"
path: /Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/26.0.1/zipalign
enter the path found in there
sudo nano /etc/paths
now on new terminal you can see zipalign reco
Solution for Mac
This error basically means that the terminal wasn't able to find the zipalign file.
So you can either type in the full path for your zipalign file with the command (located in your Android build-tools folder)
/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/26.0.1/zipalign -v 4 android-armv7-release-unsigned.apk helloWorld.apk;
If you do not know the location of the zipalign file, then just use this command
find ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools -name "zipalign"
If you are working on Windows, change the command prompt to point to the folder containing the zipalign.exe and then run the command. Also, I have found that you are not using the complete command:
zipalign [-f] [-v] 4 Input.apk Output.apk
cd android-sdk/build-tools/22.0.0/ - change directory to android sdk folder, build tools and choose version (I used 22.0.0).
Then at the prompt type:
./zipalign -v 4 /MyApp/android-x86-release-signed.apk ~/MyApp/android-x86-release-signedandzipped.apk
That worked for me. I tried the other solutions above with no success. I just had to run the command withn the proper folder, but that wasn't explained clearly in other resources I checked.
Navigate to the path of the zip align and include that with the command
/Users/ignatiusandrew/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/25.0.2/zipalign 4 android-release-unsigned.apk igi.apk
Alternatively, if you do not want to add a specific build tools folder to the path, in case it changes in the future, you can use the first result of find command:
$(find ~/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools -name "zipalign" | head -n 1) <your-zipalign-parameters>
It might be especially useful in a CI pipeline.
for me this worked perfectly, I copied the zipalign file from the android path to the folder where I wanted to run command and then typed ./zipalign -v 4 android-release-unsigned.sdk nameofapp.apk
Note: It was on Mac
%ANDROID_HOME%\\build-tools\\25.0.2\\zipalign -v 4 .\\platforms\\android\\build\\outputs\\apk\\input.apk .\\path\\ output.apk
First,
if your android home is set, then you can just
cd $ANDROID_HOME
and
open . (This should be - /Users/username/Library/Android/, you can just cd to that path as well)
Next, navigate to "sdk/build-tools/25.0.3/" (version 25.0.3 in this case, yours may be a different version).
At your terminal (apk prompt), drag zipalign to the terminal and
...../zipalign -v -p 4 my-app-unsigned.apk my-app-unsigned-aligned.apk.
Should work fine.
Hope it helps.
Downloaded zipalign-file from github
zipalign exec copy and paste in your Project1-aligned.apk directory
./zipalign -v 4 Project1.apk Project1-aligned.apk
In my case
I follow below answer
Change directory
/path/to/sdk/build-tools//zipalign
Type
./zipalign instead zipalign
In short ./zipalign is solution for me.
Solution for Jenkins
For Jenkins users using MacOS to build and sign mobile apps who are experiencing this error, the solution could be this:
At the stage where the signature is made:
withEnv(['PATH=/Users/jenkins/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/29.0.3',
'ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/Users/jenkins/Library/Android/sdk',
'JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_301.jdk/Contents/Home'])
I am using Windows with git bash/command promt
zipalign.exe needed to be configured in environment variables.
so include sdk folder 'build-tool' with android version folder you are using to build.
e.g. E:\android-sdk\build-tools\22.0.1
it should contain 'zipalign.exe'. now you can user
zipalign -v 4 Project1.apk Project1-aligned.apk
from any location using command line tools.
thumb up for me so i can help more developers.
I've run into a problem while running a tar script. I am getting an invalid option, as shown in the screenshots, that is stopping the script running. I don't get why however as the command worked outwith the script. Can anyone help me?
The script:
The error:
Thanks to Paul R I have an answer. No idea how to mark his comment as the answer though so here it is:
Some older versions of tar don't like the - at the start of the
commands - try tar cvpfz .... – Paul R 5 mins ago
Are you copy and pasting the command, instead of hand-typing it in terminal?
In my case, I was getting:
tar: invalid option -- '�'
I was pasting into terminal, the command from a raw text file, which I had copied from a tutorial:
tar –xvzf bitcoin-0.20.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
I hand-typed the entire command:
tar -xvzf bitcoin-0.20.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
and it worked. I suspect it was something like an extra space character or a - or similar which was not working.
In my case, i tried chmod 777 'FILE_NAME' for unlock the file.
Then installing, it works well!
I downloaded a 7z archive which needs a password to extract the contents of the archive. I used the command
7z -e archive.7z
It failed with the following error:
error: Incorrect command line.
Can anyone tell me command to extract the file. Thanks in advance.
7z e archive.7z
Lose the dash.
setting password for extraction is similar to setting password for archiving
(password is PWD)
7z e -pPWD archive.zip
