Actions on Google - Mac gactions won't run

Question

I am trying to set up the Actions sdk as described here:

https://developers.google.com/actions/sdk

I downloaded gactions for a Mac 64-bit machine. If I try to open the file, it opens as text. When I am in the folder containing gactions, I try to run gactions init and get the response:

-bash: gactions: command not found

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Try this:

• Download Google gactions cli from gaction CLI
• On Mac and Linux, to make the binary executable run from terminal: $ cd folder_with_gactions $ chmod +x gactions
• Execute gactions $ cd folder_with_gactions $ ./gactions init
