I plugged in Kobo, pressed connect on Kobo, and opened terminal on macOS. Dragged the makeKoboRoot.sh file into terminal (which pastes in the filepath for that file) and pressed enter. I got an error “tar: could not chdir to directory ‘src’”

The directory src does exist. I just downloaded the zip from GitHub as is and only modified the tmpl file as directed. makeKoboRoot.sh file and src folder are both in the KoboCloud-master directory

Could anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Thanks. I don’t have much experience with scripts and terminal but I can generally follow directions ok
Never mind, got it. First I had to type
Code:
cd /Users/MYUSERNAME/Downloads/KoboCloud-0.5
and press enter, then I could type
Code:
sh ./makeKoboRoot.sh
and it worked
