Thanatios Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 For my Sound Driver I need to open a install.sh file as root. Because if I open it now, I get textedit. But how to do that? O.o Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65505-how-to-open-as-root/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Just do it in Terminal: sudo nano install.sh to edit. sudo sh install.sh to run it. What driver is this, sure its a OS X driver?

Z053921 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 sudo ./install.sh If you have been working with linux for years (like me), you know all about commands.

~pcwiz Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Its suspicious if that is a real driver but some drivers like the Maxxuss AMDPCNET driver do use installer scripts so I don't think its harmful.

Might not be harmful, might not be useful either, no way to know. Like most posts lately, simply too little information. Hence why I asked what driver this was for to make sure first.
