FAQ: I tried to run a spark shell script and got a "Permission denied" error message

FAQ relevant for: all Academy versions

If you try to run one of your scripts on your Academy VDI and encounter an error saying Permission denied then there is an easy fix for this.

Firstly, you need to open up the Dolphin file explorer and locate the script - this can be done easily in IntelliJ by right clicking on the folder that contains the script and clicking "Open In -> Dolphin".

Next we just need to right click the script file and select "Properties" -> "Permissions" tab, then make sure the "Is executable" box is checked.

Alternative Method:

Another way you can make the script executable is by running chmod +x in the terminal!
