What does the following line mean for us newbies.
For Mac : cd into /IOroot/mac folder -> chmod +x root.sh -> ./root.sh
Please outline what I do. Do I get a physical CD to put into the CD drive of my mac? what does cd into mean? Is it that I download something and then look into a file I’ve downloaded? what do I do at chmod? what does +X root.sh mean do I click on it? please what do these symbols mean I should do?
I believe cd means Command Dialogue
Neither of you should be attempting this procedure.
