Forums » Help » Bake error bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory (fixed)

I had this error when navigating to the /tools folder and typing ./bake.sh in the OS X terminal

iMac:tools myname$ ./bake.sh
-bash: ./bake.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I read this post about linux encoding.

I opened the bake.sh file in BBEdit and changed the line endings to linux instead of Windows and then it worked.

Glad I posted this because happened to me again. And the fix worked again.

Just saved my life.

Hint: If you are using Komodo Edit, it's in the Edit=> Current File Settings.

Be sure to uncheck the box "Preserve existing line endings"
