[SOLVED] Pale Moon installer script fails (runasroot: Permission denied)

Hi everyone,

I just went to install Pale Moon, and didn't run the script as root per the install guide, but I got the following error:

Code: Select all

./pminstaller.sh: line 22: /tmp/pminstaller.X710HE/tools/runasroot: Permission denied
It seems that this script puts things in the /tmp directory that need to be executed. I have my /tmp mounted in ramdisk with the "noexec" option for security reasons. So the way I was able to get this to run was by temporarily remounting it with "exec." Hopefully someone else finds this information helpful.

Code: Select all

sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp

./pminstaller.sh

sudo mount -o remount,noexec /tmp
