Terminal Says My File Doesn't exist

This is the command sudo/Users/catrenia/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/applications/gimp.app/contents/resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/


This is the error message zsh: no such file or directory: sudo/Users/catrenia/Library/Application


It doesn't seem to recognize that the title of the folder is "application support" and not "application"


Thanks for any responses guy!

I have GIMP 2.10.34 installed with no attempt to install any additional plug-ins and that plug-ins folder is empty.


You appear to be attempting to directly run a folder entry from the Terminal shell and that won't work either. Sudo expects either a UNIX command to follow it, or the path provided ends with a UNIX executable binary that needs sudo privileges. The path you provided must have spaces escaped and everything after the first /plug-ins folder would not exist by any means.


sudo ls -lt ~/Library/Application\ Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins


Any plug-ins that ship with GIMP are stored within the application bundle, and third-party plug-ins would be installed in the above location, or should be.

Hi,


Thanks for taking the time to respond! Unfortunately that didn't work. It still says the file doesn't exist. I know it does because if I paste that in go to folder it goes to it. I tried putting the plug in directly into the folder and nothing happened. I don't see it anywhere in GIMP. I didn't the update yet as I am working on something and don't want to loose the gradient I made. I am attempting to install G'MIC by the way. I have installed third party plug ins in the past with no issue.


Thanks again.

There is nothing in that folder so the ls command returns Total 0.


The Terminal and Finder are entirely different entities for dealing with the filesystem and if you enter the tilde file path (without the \ escape character) that I provided above in the Finder Go To Folder and press return, it will open a Finder window on an empty plug-ins folder.


The Finder Go To Folder panel will not even accept the original path that you provided as it is a nonsense path.


I recommend you stick with the Finder and away from the Terminal.
