Im following the setup of an AWS IoT device, and I can’t figure out how to get past step (7)

7.Download credentials and run the start.sh script, wich will generate a root-CA.crt

I have downloaded it, but when i press the start.sh file it just opens in leafpad :( How do i run it?

@KMH0 you have to make it executable, in the terminal find your start.sh file : and type chmod +x start.sh

[KMH0]

@broberg How do I navigate to my documents in Terminal? :)

[broberg]

@KMH0 type dir to see where you are. Then type cd the folder you want to open until you get there.

As default you should start in your home directory

[KMH0]

@broberg Ive found the folder, but when I type chmod +x start.sh nothing happens

[broberg]

@KMH0 Nothing will happen, but now the script will start when you click it instead of opening in leafpad, right?

[KMH0]

@broberg You are a hero mate! :) Thanks

[KMH0]

@broberg Wy did I start this journey, haha. You mind explaining the next steps? :)

8. go to your local copy of this repo, create a folder called certs inside the src folder
9. place all the credentials in the certs folder
10. open MirrorMirror.js, replace the keyPath, certPath, and caPath with your own credentials’ paths
