Why isn’t my single-file executable working after chmod +x?

Asked By CuriousTraveler92 On

Hey there! I downloaded a tool called 'single-file' from GitHub and placed it in my /bin folder. After that, I used chmod +x on both the folder and the 'single-file' executable itself. But when I try to run it in the terminal using 'single-file' or 'single-file --help', I keep getting a 'command not found' error. Even when I type 'sing' and press tab, nothing shows up. I'm using Linux Mint, so I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this!

Double-check that the 'single-file' you downloaded is actually the executable and not just a script or text file. If it appears to be a valid binary, try downloading it again in case something went wrong. Sometimes, file permissions can get tricky, so re-downloading might help!
