Download and run a WGET file

I would like to download a model from the site. These are WGED files, which I first download and then open in VSCode! However, I cannot get the file to run! What do I have to do?

Solution

  • These are WGED files

    No, they are .sh files, which are text files, if you open one in text editor you will see that first line

    #!/bin/bash

    meaning that said file is supposed to be used with bash, moreover following comment might be found

    # first be sure it's bash... anything out of bash or sh will break

    thus implying you need functional bash in order to make any use of said file.
