Permission on executable

[KipTwitchell]

So, the documentation was clear about where the executable was put....I just didn't read it carefully enough, jumping straight to the Mac execution line instead. Would it be better to put the directory just in front of the execution parms?

Also, got this error:

ktwitchell001@Kips-MacBook-Pro wb % macosx/cocoa/x86_64/Eclipse.app
zsh: permission denied: macosx/cocoa/x86_64/Eclipse.app

I can probably Google it to get that fixed.

Well, chmod +x came back clean in command line, but didn't get a lot further. Here is the terminal output for what I tried:

ktwitchell001@Kips-MacBook-Pro wb % macosx/cocoa/x86_64/Eclipse.app
zsh: permission denied: macosx/cocoa/x86_64/Eclipse.app
ktwitchell001@Kips-MacBook-Pro wb % chmod +x macosx/cocoa/x86_64/Eclipse.app

Suggestion is to make the entire path one command prefixed with the "open" to open. I would also add the ability to copy the Eclipse.app to the Mac Application folder, and double click on it there as another choice.
