No, you enter those commands in the linux shell.

I must learn about Linux first.:disappointed_relieved:
There are too many things I do not know too much since I got GameShell.:sob:

Hi mate. Thanks for the message. But I have serveral issues here:

When running “apt-get install git build-essential
apt-get build-dep retroarch” the terminal said: “E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?”

The github one runs ok. However, “cpi@clockworkpi:~/retroarch$ make -j4
Makefile:10: config.mk: No such file or directory
config.mk is outdated or non-existing. Run ./configure again.
Makefile:182: recipe for target ‘config.mk’ failed
make: *** [config.mk] Error 1
cpi@clockworkpi:~/retroarch$ sudo make install
Makefile:10: config.mk: No such file or directory
config.mk is outdated or non-existing. Run ./configure again.
Makefile:182: recipe for target ‘config.mk’ failed
make: *** [config.mk] Error 1”

Is there anything I am missing? Cheers

@Valssu
Run the apt-get commands as root.
Also sounds like you didn’t run ./configure.

I think I ran it. “cpi@clockworkpi:~/retroarch$ apt-get install git build-essential
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?” got something like this.

The ./configure actually runs ok

#17

You’re not running it as root like you’re supposed to. :upside_down_face:
Add sudo to the start of each apt-get command before running them.

#18

That works! Thanks! Finger crossed for the later on things.

BTW, when I am setting the button configuration in retroarch. I accidentally assigned the confirm button (b) to something else. So I can click yes any more (so cant get it back). What shoud I do?

#22

How can I set the directory ? I mean how can i even change the line from defualt to something else?

#23

You press the OK button and it asks you to navigate to the dir

#24

Thank you. Now I only have to figure out how to set up new directories. Great work anyways

#25

You rock. Tnx! :slight_smile:

#26

Could I get a quick rundown on how to SSH with the GS? I downloaded Filezilla, but i’m drawing a blank here.
