Hi.

I replied this last night but my post must not have worked? :a

So basically I think this a permissions thing. Linux is a swine for permissions, especially if you have copied the files via ftp from Windows as Windows doesn’t retain the file permissions that Linux attaches (in my experience – maybe someone more knowledgeable could confirm?).

So to fix this, in SSH go to your /home/pi directory and type the following command:

sudo chmod 777 "text_switcher"

This should reset the permissions for the whole folder and allow you to install.

If this does not work then you need to go into the folder and chmod the script files and make them executable again by using the following command:

sudo chmod +x "filename.sh"

Do that on every script file (including in the /resources/ folder).

I always have permission issues if I have copied via ftp from a Windows machine so it is a good habit to always reset the permissions via ftp after you have copied the files. I use FileZilla and you can right-click I’m the files, set permissions.

Anyway, good luck!
