Installing binaries

Hi everyone, I have downloaded the binaries cabal-install-3.4.0.0-x86_64-darwin-sierra.tar.xz and cardano-node-1.27.0-win64.zip to my laptop.

When I try ‘tar -xf (filename)’ the system cannot find the file. Where do I go wrong?

Thanks

Hi Piraninho!

So you can check the current directory content with ls -l command to see what files are available in that folder. Can you see the cardano-node-1.27.0-win64.zip in the list? What operating system your laptop has? Linux, Windows?

will have to check ls -l later as I cannot connect to the instance at the moment.

I’m using MacOS on the laptop and Amazon AWS for Linux.
I checked my bin directory but there is nothing there - and it is write protected?

The files are only available in my regular download directory

So if you are using MacOS on the laptop - the cardano-node-1.27.0-win64.zip is not the right packet.
this one is ok: https://hydra.iohk.io/build/6357744/download/1/cardano-node-1.27.0-macos.tar.gz
