I'm trying to install software. When I try to run the chmod + x ./install_bam.sh command to get permission to run ./install_bam.sh I get an error saying "can not execute binary file".
The file permissions are fine. I tried doing it as root as well.
Any clues, ideas?
Try: chmod + x install_bam.sh
Syntax of the chmod command:
chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | P]] mode file ...
chmod [-fv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | + a | = a] ACE file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-E] file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-C] file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-N] file ...
that is:
chmod + flags file
chmod mode file
