Not sure if it works, but have you tried sudo ./install-templates.sh ?
I'm not a real expert, but it could work.

That comes up the first time you use sudo, because with sudo you temporarily gaining root access to perform an action. You can if you're not careful really mess up your system with sudo, so care must be taken

Anyways, just doin it. but how would i type in my password? I cant type in the terminal when it says PASSWORD: ??????

You can actually type your password in the terminal. You can't see the letters on the screen, but they are there.
So just type your password and press enter. Hope I helped.

Thx alot - do you know why it says: sudo: ./install-templates.sh: command not found??? The dude in this cocos2d tutorial tells that we should do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6SjWP9GcPU&feature=relmfu 2:00

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but did you enter ./install-templates.sh in the terminal, or ./install-templates.sh -u? The -u part is important.

No questions are stupid - all help is appreciated. but yes, of course I typed in -u

I only have one solution left, but that is because I don't know what the "." means before "/install-templates.sh". My solution is the following command:
./install-templates.sh -u -f
or:
./install-templates.sh -f
Again, I'm not a real expert so what I say could be total junk.

The "." means the current folder the Terminal shell is standing in. Writing "./install-templates.sh" means that we want to execute the install-templates.sh that is located in the current folder (provided that it is executable).

My guess would be that the script doesn't have the appropriate executable bit set. To make sure the script is executable, run:

chmod +x install-templates.sh
