Bash: error! permission denied! I was making this bash install script on ubuntu 21.10. I was going to test out the first little bit, but I ran into this error. /tmp/geany_run_script_GBYCG1.sh: 7: ./install sauerbraten 2020: Permission denied (program exited with code: 126) Press return to continue This is the script so far. #!/bin/bash DIRECTORY="$(dirname "$(dirname "$( cd "$(dirname "$0")" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; pwd -P )")")" function error { echo -e "\\e[91m$1\\e[39m" exit 1 } wget #tar -xf What is wrong, and how can I fix it?

The error is not from your bash script, it's from the shell wrapper script that Geany uses to execute your file (when you press F5 or select the _Build - > Execute_ menu item).

The default Geany _Execute_ action is `"./%f"` which takes the name of your file and wraps it in a script in `/tmp` like


#!/bin/sh

rm $0

cd '/home/username'

"./name of your file"

echo "

------------------
(program exited with code: $?)"


echo "Press return to continue"
#to be more compatible with shells like dash
dummy_var=""
read dummy_var


The error is coming from Line 7 of this script, i.e.


"./name of your file"


and is simply indicating that file `./install sauerbraten 2020` cannot be executed because of its permission bits - likely the executable bit is not set for your user. You can fix it with


chmod +x "./install sauerbraten 2020"
