cannot run install.bash for atv2 install

So it is not letting me run the install.bash line through putty to install plex connect on my jailbroken ATV2 5.3

I know this is a stupid question but I have not been able to figure it out for the last hour and it is driving me nuts!!!

it is telling me the command does not exist. for some reason I cannot copy anything. I am running the install from the gitnub iBaa install directions. for some reason I cant cut and paste anything on my computer currently otherwise I would post the direct address.

 

the directions say :

Install PlexConnect as daemon

-SSH into aTV

-cd into the PlexConnect directory/ Eg/ "cd /Application/PlexConnect"

-run "./support/aTV_jailbreak/install.bash"

 

when I cd into plexconnect it says Apple-TV:~/PlexConnect root# then I type ./support/aTV_jailbreak/install.bash

As soon as I hit enter I get a command error that says -sh: ./support/aTV-jailbreak/install.bash: No such file or directory

 

I have tried running the comman a hundred different ways for the last hour. what am I doing wrong???????????

if I type run PlexConnect/support/aTV_jailbreak/install.bash from the root directory itself I get a command not found error

I apologize if this is supposed to be in the other atv forum.

Try this after you restore to 5.3 post #231:

I automated baa’s method with a few mod’s of my own. A few more details on this post about it as well:

Ok. So I am still too green at this to understand all those directions on the link. Are you just explaining the steps it does and it is all automated after the unpackaging command or do I need to do more than unpackaged it?

I copy the download to my atv first correct

im confused. I cannot find a plexconnect.db to install. where do I find it?

I apologize. I just assumed that was the first page of your thread. lol. I found the install directions but here is the thing. you still have that same run line therefore I am going to have the same problem running the installation. I still need to know how im setting up the run command improperly.

Check, what's wrong with that file:

In that support directly (i.e. after the given cd ... command) do a "ls -all". This will list the directory content, with all the necessary information. Two things to look for:

- the pure existence of the file. If not there, it must have got lost during transmission.

- the file access flags. Depending on the FTP client used, that file might not have an "executable" stamp. The flags are shown in the first column... example: "-rw-r--r--" is read/write for root, read for group and user. "-rwxrwxrwx" would be read/write/execute for everyone. If you miss the "x" you can do a "chmod +x ".

If that doesn't solve it, come back again. :-)

@wahlman.j


It gives me the same error I got before when the automated version tries to access any file.do I need to install git? If so what is it? Where do I get it? Here is the plex connect command list

@Baa do I need to install daemon tools to install that section

11

For the std. method you have to install the stuff described in readme.txt (ie. python). Nothing else. 

12

Thank u both for your help guys.

13

Any word on what was the issue and how you solved it?

14

yup. just had to notice that Wahlman.j's post 231 was seperated with a line.  thought it was a new post but it was just a seperation of the install instructions. I just didnt install git before the rest of it.
