Tools not working, linux mint 19.1

[peter pan]

 Hi there

My problem is that I cannot get the tools from the software suite to work. I'm using Linux mint 19.1 and java -version outputs this
"
openjdk version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4, mixed mode)
"

Using the HardwareSimulator as example, i have given the "HardwareSimulator.sh" file permission to be run as an executable file, and when i double-click it and choose the option to run in terminal, the terminal in a flash opens and then closes.

Running from the the terminal, both from within the install folder and from desktop, by typing "HardwareSimulator.sh" in the terminal outputs the message "HardwareSimulator.sh: command not found"

What can i do to fix this and get the tools running so I can get on with doing the projects? If any other info is needed, please let me know.

Thank you in advance :)

This is normal. On Linux the current directory is not part of the PATH by default. To run the file you need to type ./HardwareSimulator.sh instead.

If that doesn't work, please try it as follows:

/bin/bash -x HardwareSimulator.sh

Then copy the output and paste it here, so we can see what's going on.

Wow, did not expect a reply so fast.

./HardwareSimulator.sh did the trick, thank you so much for helping.

Cheers!
