Reply To: [Retropie 2.X] list of issues

In the readme for RetroPie-Setup, it states:

The script is executed with

cd RetroPie-Setup
chmod +x retropie_setup.sh
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

chmod +x retropie_setup.sh gives an error message.
sudo chmod +x retropie_setup.sh probably works, as it doesn’t give any message at all.

Should the README.md be revised to add sudo to the chmod command? Or is the chmod command even necessary anymore? I think when I installed and and had no idea what was going on, I followed these steps exactly and it may have still worked… I don’t really recall.
