Setting-Up Files, Folders and Setting Permissions

Create the recommended folder and file structure:

cd $HOME;
mkdir -p meetings/lib/ meetings/bin/ meetings/recordings/;
touch meetings/bin/meeting-start meetings/bin/meeting-stop meetings/bin/meeting-follow;
chmod 755 meetings/bin/meeting-start meetings/bin/meeting-stop meetings/bin/meeting-follow;
touch meetings/lib/paths.sh meetings/lib/whisper.sh;

Enter the scripts' contents into the prepared files using your preferred editor. 

If you are not comfortable using a command line editor like vi, pico or nano, use any text or code editor on your main computer and copy the files by the way of scp or a (s)ftp client onto the Raspberry Pi 500.  

Check the permissions. meeting-start, meeting-stop and meeting-follow have to be executable. (This is set by chmod 755.) 

It should look like this:

mela@Cox:~ $ ls -l meetings/bin/
total 20
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mela mela  526 Jan 11 08:51 meeting-follow
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mela mela 4558 Feb 21 00:17 meeting-start
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mela mela 2596 Feb 21 00:24 meeting-stop
