    • It based on your laptop (os) linux, if you active the format of files so you can use that particular bash script. If your laptop doesn’t show the format of files just use “xdman”

    • Hi ,

      Please try to run this command :

      $ sudo chmod o+x xdman

      I think it was a typo , remove “.sh” in 3rd & 4th Step.
