gogsie Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I am trying to copy 2 kexts from a USB to my Extensions folder and terminal seems unbelievably finicky.. (although its me who is wrong) I have looked online and the command seems to be cp -R as a kext is a directory. So Surely the command would be: cp - R Volumes/Untitled/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext Volumes/MacBookPro/System/Library/Extensions/ ?? I keep either getting the error 'No such file or directory'. Or 'Unable to copy extended attributes to System/Library/Extensions/Contents/MacOS: No such file or Directory. I am not sure why it is putting Contents/MacOS on the end of what I am typing Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong as I know it must me that I am using the wrong command or need to out in or take out a / or \ or ~ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecekpawon Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 You need to put "/" before Volumes (/Volumes/...). Follow "Post Install" after copying kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 sudo cp - R /Volumes/Untitled/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext /Volumes/MacBookPro/System/Library/Extensions/ then sudo touch /Volumes/MacBookPro/System/Library/Extensions to have it rebuild the cache, you need sudo to copy the file as root may as well do sudo chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/MacBookPro/System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext sudo chmod -R 0755 /Volumes/MacBookPro/System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext before the touch command to correct permissions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
