Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 16,926 PointsHow do I run macpan in the terminal?
Fill in the blank to run macpan.sh within the current directory.
Remember, to run an executable you have to include an absolute or relative path to it. And there's a symbol you can use to specify the current directory...
treehouse:~/workspace/games/macpan$ pwd /home/treehouse/workspace/games/macpan treehouse:~/workspace/games/macpan$ ls macpan.sh treehouse:~/workspace/games/macpan$

Treehouse TeacherLet's say I was outside a directory named mydir
, and I wanted to run a script named myscript.sh
inside mydir
. I would type:
mydir/myscript.sh
Now let's suppose I was inside mydir
. To run the same script, I would type:
./myscript.sh
See if you can adapt that information to run the executable specified in the quiz question. And if you want more information, review the videos immediately prior to that quiz.
