I'm trying to run fscrawler on Debian 10. I have downloded both `fscrawler-es7-2.8-SNAPSHOT.zip` and `fscrawler-es7-2.7.zip` then exctract them to `/home/myname/fscrawler`, but running these codes always results in `command not found` !!  
First I ran these 🙂

```auto
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

```

and then I tried:

```auto
myname@debian:~/fscrawler$
sudo bin/fscrawler job_name
sudo ./bin/fscrawler job_name
sudo /bin/fscrawler job_name

sudo /bin/fscrawler --config_dir /home/ehsan/fscrawler data >> /home/ehsan/fscrawler/logs/fscrawler.log 2>&1

```

I created `/logs/fscrawler.log`. I do not know what to do to run this crawler?

```auto
ls -l ~/fscrawler

```

Sounds good.

Could you run:

```auto
cd ~/fscrawler/bin
ls -l
./fscrawler

```

The files are not executable.

```
chmod u+x fscrawler 
./fscrawler 

```

Should work
