I am trying to setup Jeash for Haxe, so I read this: http://old.haxe.org/com/libs/jeash/firststeps

Now, I found out that I cannot do that just yet:

“This is the first time you are runing haxelib. Please run haxelib setup first”

(and I love the typo in there 😛 )

So I decided to read this: http://haxe.org/com/haxelib/setup

I tried what is suggested. First command, I get prompted for a password, so I enter what is necessary when I install software on my comp.

Then I ran “sudo chown jansensan -R /usr/lib/haxe” (replacing “myusername” with my actual username, “jansensan”) and then I get an error: “chown: -R: No such file or directory”

Is there a way to get a little bit more information? I mean, the explanation on the Haxe website makes it sound as it if will magically happen, and it is not the case.

For anyone interested (if it helps you understand my issue), my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and I intend to code in FDT. BTW, I can already do some Haxe stuff in FDT, why would I need to run the Haxe setup to be able to install Jeash and NME?

    All these suggestions are quite good. An alternative to dealing with all this Terminal writing is to go to http://www.haxenme.org/developers/get-started/ and use the installers provided. Afterwards, go in the prefs of FDT > Haxe SDK and add the path where the haxelib was installed, “/usr/lib/haxe” most likely.
