In xterm:

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/smsimporter /home/user/
cp /home/user/MyDocs/sms.csv /home/user/
chmod +x /home/user/smsimporter
cd /home/user/
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv

And no need to blame Nokia on this, they have nothing to do with the sms importing tools posted here - it's all a community effort

Because so far I only have the extracted smsimporter files and my csv contacts file in the root.

Thanks a lot.

If you have moved the files to /home/user already, you don't need
the command
cp /home/user/MyDocs/smsimporter /home/user/
anymore.
But
chmod +x /home/user/smsimporter
cd /home/user/
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv
To verify that all files are there,
ls -l /home/user/smsimporter
ls -l /home/user/sms.csv
