Cannot use dex2jar on my mac: permission denied

Question

I downloaded dex2jar and now trying to use it, but if I type 'sh d2j-dex2jar.sh' it shows the following message.

d2j-dex2jar.sh: line 36: ./d2j_invoke.sh: Permission denied

At first I thought that the permission was denied because the programme required the root permission, so I also tried adding 'sudo' to the command, and it did not work either. How should I solve this problem?

You probably need to provide the execute permission to the sh file. — Shivam Verma, Jun 16 '15 at 18:31
@ShivamVerma Alright.. but I'm not familiar with the shell script. Can you tell me how? — , Jun 16 '15 at 18:31
I'm not a mac user so not sure about. But on linux, it is `sudo chmod +x d2j_invoke.sh` — Shivam Verma, Jun 16 '15 at 18:33

You need to provide execute permissions to your sh script.

To do that : sudo chmod +x d2j_invoke.sh

I lost one hour over this. I gave the d2j-dex2jar.sh +x permission but I did not give it to invoke.sh Thank you! – Lev Oct 30 '15 at 12:13
**d2j-dex2jar.sh +x** this command also giving me the permission denied – Min2 Jul 16 '16 at 08:52
@Min2 Did you give the permission to d2j_invoke.sh ? – Shivam Verma Jul 18 '16 at 05:15
Worked for me this way `sudo chmod +x ./d2j-dex2jar.sh classes.dex` – Kirtikumar A. Jul 16 '20 at 12:28

Still If you find no luck use,

chmod a+x *.sh
