apk2gold problem

[muttleytm]

I'm in a little over my head. I just want to decompile an apk to find a short string of characters that will start with an asterisk.

I've found some other instructions on how to install apk2gold on ubuntu and it appears to be installed, but, I get a command not found error and I can't find the directory apk2gold that was created.

I am running linux mint15 and I have installed python, git, mercurial,jdk and jdk devel using the package manager. Then I ran:

git clone https://github.com/lxdvs/apk2gold.git
cd apk2gold
git submodule init
git submodule update
./make.sh

When I do:

apk2gold # dir

I get:

apk2gold apktool dex2jar-0.0.9.12 jd-cli linux make.sh osx README.md rreassoc.py

but when I look for this directory (apk2gold) with my file manager so I can put my apk file there as well I can't find it.

when I try to run it I get this:

apk2gold # apk2gold FP.apk
apk2gold: command not found

or as root

apk2gold FP.apk

apk2gold: command not found

(Just trying the simple stuff first, let me know if this is too simple / too hard, kinda hard to tell where you might be in all this)

In the command-line, when you're in the apk2gold directory, try the "pwd" cmmand. It should print out the full path to that folder, which should help you find it in a file manager.

Whenever you have the APK where you want it, have you tried "./apk2gold FP.apk" from the apk2gold directory?

Thanks for the reply. I did pwd and found adk2gold was created in the root
directory. I put my apk file there. First I used the command # apk2gold
FB.apk and it didn't work and then I remembered you said to use ./apk2gold
FB.apk.

It worked fine. Now I just hope I can find what I'm looking for.

Thanks
