how do I install a .pet with a shell commandi?

I seem to get a permissions error

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# ./EZpup-2.1.7.pet
sh: ./EZpup-2.1.7.pet: Permission denied

many thanks

I think the old pupget worked like this, not shure if petget is the same:

petget +/root/thefile.pet

If that doesn't work

Code: Select all

tar -xvf foo.pet
cp -ac foo/* /

will install the files but it won't register the install with petget. It won't rebuild the menu "fixmenus" and it will copy the file foo.pet.specs into /. You can delete this before the copy from the foo directory or afterwards from /

IMHO the title of your post is more clear if you replace "run" with "install", unless what you want to do is run the program contained in the pet.

Hey Lob - the phantom title-swapper is abroad again, although he failed to change the very last letter this time. Makes following threads very difficult, especially as the highlighting of previously visited one disappears, too.
