UNSOLVED Mirror mirror on the wall alexa skill

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?

broberg

@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

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

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