I am trying to run an .exe file with its command line in Terminal. At the moment, it appears like this:

./SuperBMD.exe "Z:\Documents\Blender\v3.fbx"
However, I'm getting this error message. What should I do?

Are you in the right directory?

#

i'm not sure. i'm looking at the README file again for the .exe file, but it doesn't say

Try running dir in your terminal to see the files in the directory

someone also told me this just now:

is SuperBMD.exe located at the path your command line prompt is showing? The prompt needs to be in the same folder as SuperBMD.exe and the rest of the files
what would the prompt be in this case?

The thing where you type stuff in

signal vault Try running dir in your terminal to see the files in the directory

just do this and check what it prints

#

it didn't appear in the names. should i move the .exe file to there?

#

or cd into the right directory

modest aurora Apr 4, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

how should i run or type the cd command in this particular case here?

#

figure out what directory you want to go to

#

compared to where you're at right now

#

you do 2 things with cd:
cd .. get one dir back
cd foldername go into the folder name up
cd folder1/folder2 you go into the folder2, which is inside the folder1

thats how you jump between.

as soon as youa re in the directory where you file lays, you could
SuperBMD.EXE <your parameters>
also, if you are correct you can Super and then push tab (the key with 2 arrows on it) and it will auto complete 😉

#

should the directory that i choose be the folder that the .exe file is in, or the file that i'm trying to convert with SuperBMD? or either?

signal vault Apr 4, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

The one where your .exe is

i had cd set to that one and ran the command line, but i got this error:

Try putting both in the same directory

#

no idea what that tool does but this is just the tool crashing

#

could be broken input or the tool being broken or whatever

solemn granite Apr 4, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

as rob said.
Your call seems correct, but tool is going Harakiri 😄

modest aurora Apr 4, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

what does that mean?

#

anyway, i think doing that worked
