Puzzle Running a Program

I am a bit lost once more. I want to jailbreak my iPad. To do this, I am told I need the "checkra1n-x86_64" which I downloaded. The file sent is missing the final [-86_64] at the end and instead is named [checkra1n]. I wasted some time with an NTFS flash and finally reformatted to eXfat so Q4OS could read it.

ls shows the file to be there. I used: sudo +x checkra1n and all is OK. I used: sudo checkra1n

Advice please?

Re: Puzzle Running a Program

If you visited https://checkra.in/releases/ and clicked on the x86_64 link, one might expect that you got the x86_64 version
You can check if it really is with the `file` command: $ file checkra1n.

Edit

Note that if your file is stored on an exFAT file system (as seems to be the case with your usb stick), the command `chmod +x checkra1n` does nothing, because exFAT doesn't recognize permissions.
