If you want to see the path, in Finder, click View > Show Path Bar and it will appear at the bottom of the window. Look at the red arrow at the bottom of the pic in my 2nd post in this thread.
hmm. the path is mackintosh hd-bin
no usr or local :/
what is happening here
# Wherever you see 'sudo' you are running the subsequent command as the root user.
# Be careful! As root you have full control over the system and it will not ask you if you type
# a command wrong, it will just do it.
# Creates the directory '/usr/local/bin' and any parent directories, if needed
# This command is non-destructive
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
#Copy hdapm from the mounted hdapm disk image to the
# /usr/local/bin folder
sudo cp /Volumes/hdapm/hdapm /usr/local/bin/hdapm
### BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE BELOW COMMANDS ###
#Fix the permissions.
# chown changes the owners of files.
# The below commands marks the files as owned by the root user and the
# wheel group.
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/bin/hdapm
# chmod changes the permissions users have for a file
# The below commands makes the files readable and executable
# to everyone while only allowing write access to the root user
#
# Permissions are specified in octal. Read = 4, Write = 2, Execute = 1
# Read, write and execute permissions: 4+2+1 = 7
# Read and execute: 4+1 = 5
# Position specifies who has what:
# 1st number: the user that owns the file (root in this case)
# 2nd number: the group that own the file (wheel in this case)
# 3rd number: everyone else
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/hdapmecho $PATHtouch ~/.bash_profile
open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profileexport PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"Ya that's what I thought I just wasent sure. I installed it but I'm not completely sure if it's working yet. Thank your for your patience and help thought. Much appreciated.
