Im trying to download firestorm but when I try to run the install.sh it says

Invalid url: '/home/user/Downloads/Pheonix_FirestormOS-Releasex64_x86_64_5.1.7.55786/install.sh' given, exiting
No ':' in the uri

Can someone explain what this means? I already looked at this: No ':' in the url but it wasn't helpful. How do I fix this? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.01

  • This looks like a duplicate of the question you linked, and I would imagine the solution is the same (i.e. use `file:///home/user/Downloads/...` instead). How was it not helpful? – wjandrea Dec 16 '18 at 00:27
  • I don't know what it means by that, I don't know how to get file:/// – radicaltad Dec 16 '18 at 01:07
  • OK, how are you running the install.sh? – wjandrea Dec 16 '18 at 01:08
  • Im running it using AptURL – radicaltad Dec 16 '18 at 01:33
  • OK, I'm confused, cause AptURL doesn't run shell scripts. Please describe exactly what you're doing. – wjandrea Dec 16 '18 at 03:08
  • I right click it and it wants to run it through AptURL – radicaltad Dec 16 '18 at 03:29
  • Right-click what? And what is telling you that it wants to run through AptURL? Maybe it would be best if you posted a screenshot. – wjandrea Dec 16 '18 at 03:35
  • I right click the install.sh. it says "Open with Apth URL". I click that. It gives me the error message. – radicaltad Dec 16 '18 at 03:38
  • OK, I can reproduce the error if I open a script with AptURL. I'm not sure how this happened on your side though. If anything it should open the script in a text editor. – wjandrea Dec 16 '18 at 03:51

It seems like the file needs execution permissions.

This is what worked for me:

  • Right click on the file, click on Properties.
  • On the Permissions tab, make sure you have checked the 'Allow executing file as program'
  • Close it and go open the file. It now runs correctly.
