Hi all,
I am new to Linux and have been having a difficult time trying to install this particular program.
I am currently trying to install a program named Rufus. I downloaded the original file from SourceForge (Rufus 3.20.tar.gz)
I unzipped it fine. I am use to seeing install scripts labeled as 'install.sh' and then being able to run them using './install.sh' but the one that is included in the contents of the directory is labeled as 'install-sh'
Running sudo ./install-sh initially led to the output of 'sudo: ./install-sh: command not found' so then using 'chmod u+x install-sh' I made the file executable. Now if I run the same command from earlier 'sudo ./install-sh' I get the output of './install-sh: no input file specified.'
I decided to try and 'open install-sh' and at the very beginning of the file it has this written:
# Calling this script install-sh is preferred over install.sh, to prevent
# 'make' implicit rules from creating a file called install from it
# when there is no Makefile.
I don't understand what that means though. And obviously I'm still not sure how to get it to actually install. Everything I try to Google brings up issues relating to ./install.sh not install-sh, so I can't seem to find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Software] Install-sh
Can you tell what are you trying achieve?
I've never needed rufus to make bootable usb.sticks.

Re: [Software] Install-sh
You will find that many things you need to add to Windows for basic functionality is already included in most distros by default. In this case... something I learned recently.Awkward6804 wrote: ↑2022-11-26 03:01 Hi all,
