      Hi all,
      I decided to make a new installation of mycontroller with a fresh rpi. So I followed instructions step by step from : https://forum.mycontroller.org/topic/219/how-to-install-mycontroller-on-the-raspberrypi-or-any-other-linux-unix-system

      I went to the end with no problem, but when I enter the final command
      pi@raspberrypi:/opt/mycontroller/bin $ ./start.sh
      I get the answer -bash: ./start.sh: Permission denied
      If I remove "./" at front with or without sudo then the answer is sudo: start.sh: command not found
      I really don't understand where is the problem...
      I made apt-get update and upgrade in case but not better...
      Thanks to anyone can help!

        @heyjay I guess you might extracted mycontroller*.zip as a root user. delete mycontroller directory as root user or sudo. and extract as normal user.

          Hi!,
          Can you check if the start.sh file is executable?

          # ls -l start.sh
          -rwxrwxr-- 1 user group 2612 Oct 28 18:39 start.sh
          

          what does the output of the command look at your system?

          If it is not the same try:

          chmod 775 ./start.sh

            Hi,
            I tried this :

            pi@raspberrypi:/opt/mycontroller/bin $ ls -l start.sh
            -rwxrwxr-x 1 pi pi 2061 Nov  7 21:21 start.sh
            

            then I did chmod as you proposed but I still have the same output and same problem...

            @jkandasa
            Then I followed your advice... Actually, I had transferred my zip file (that I have on my computer) with filezilla, so I guess rights are differents with filezilla even though I connected also with default user pi. Maybe someone has an explanation.

            So after following ALL exact instructions of the guide it works nicely!

            Thank you both so much!
