can't run sudo mono CumulusMX.exe

Post by Steve R »

I am trying to install Cumulus MX on my new computer IMac running OSX El Capitan version 10.11.1. I have installed the newest version of Mono Framework then open a terminal window and change to the directory where I unzipped Cumulus. When I type sudo mono CumulusMX.exe this is what I get and it's as far as I can get. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you are entering "/Users/steverosenberg/Documents/Cumulus/CumulusMX sudo mono CumulusMX.exe" as the command (everything on the command line up to the $ is the prompt, and everything after is the command) so the first part is a directory.

There is a lock after password and I can't enter anything from there. The folder isn't locked and I looked on the internet for a solution but can't find one.
