Unable to access Retropie setup from terminal

[McJones9631]

So I was following the instructions on how to set up Selph's scraper when I had a bit of a snag. When typing in the "sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh" command like it says, it get an error that it isn't found. What should I do? I have a picture of the error here.

You are supposed to type

sudo sh ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Did you try to go to the directories? Navigate through the directory structure with CD (change directory) and use ls to see the contents of each folder. Personally I use ls -l to see things in a list format. The directory may in fact NOT be there. So you probably missed a step in the instructions or the RetroPie install isn't complete. What hardware are you using? What...anything...are you using?

( @saccublenda I don't type sh before the path. Maybe that's version dependent. )

You are right, it should work also without the sh. Probably the file retropie_setup.sh is not where it is supposed to be.

@saccublenda If sh files aren't registered as shell scripts in their system then problems exist that are beyond my Linux knowledge.

@saccublenda that's incorrect. The sh shouldn't be included. That is likely to cause issues. (RetroPie uses bash, not sh, which could be dash or another shell).

@McJones9631 you typed RetroPie_Setup instead of RetroPie-Setup

[IanDaemon]

@BuZz I often get confused that it's MixedCase-Hyphen and then lowercase_underscore.

[saccublenda]

@BuZz I usually run retropie_setup.sh with the sh, that in Debian is dash.

Okay, so I've tested just about everything you all have said here, and I'm still getting errors, as seen here. Thank you all again for your help!

@McJones9631 Why don’t you just go in RetroPie-Setup and see with ls If the file is there? Also you are typing Retropie-Setup instead of RetroPie-Setup.

@saccublenda Well. That's wrong. I suggest you don't. It only works because that script launches others via bash. If bash specific code was added to the retropie_setup.sh script you will have issues.

@BuZz Good to know, thanks.
