Hi @ray, thank you for your answer. It seems the last suggestion you gave me was precious to make some steps ahead (yes I didn’t know about the need to add “./” to the command if the executable isn’t in a system path) but I still have problems trying to run the “OpenSprinkler Updater” software.

In the last weeks I upgraded my OS, so now in my laptop runs Ubuntu 18.04. This is what I did to try to launch the program:
– I moved to the local folder where I’ve unzipped the downloaded file, then I ran in the terminal:

sudo ./'OpenSprinkler Updater'

and I got this as answer (it seems that the command works, before it didn’t, but it seems there is a new problem):

./OpenSprinkler Updater: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’ve google a little (https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2191 and https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/1305) and I’ve read that in Ubuntu 18.04 the libgconf-2.so.4 is missing.

– I tried to install libconf-2-4 and then repeated the command:

sudo ./'OpenSprinkler Updater'

and I got this as answer:

[6350:6350:0116/132007:FATAL:nw_content_renderer_hooks.cc(48)] Failed to load node library (error: libnode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Illegal instruction

I guess that if I would have not upgraded my OS recently, I could successfully run ‘OpenSprinkler Updater’, but now with Ubuntu 18.04 it doesn’t work.
