Re: [HELP] Can't install packages!

[Talk of the Mountain]

Good morning, everyone.

I'm having similar problems trying to install Ohara YouTube Embed. I was successful installing Aeva Media months ago, but I can't get it to work so I thought I'd give Ohara a try.

Please keep in mind I have no knowledge how to work on this program and I have relied in the past on my host, however, he is not familiar with SMF and can't help me with this problem.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

When I try to install the program, I get the following page seen in the screen shot.

Your problem, by your post, has nothing at all to do with the thread that you originally posted in.

Your problem is very clearly indicated by the error message...  By you need to make the packages directory and subdirectories writable.

Thank you for your reply.

How do I make the directory and subdirectories writable?

Read the FAQ on chmod...
