How do I fix ngrok permission denied?

Question

I've installed ngrok and created an alias in my user folder. When I run the following command

./ngrok authtoken tokenhere

I get

./ngrok: Permission denied

Is there somewhere I need to set permissions?

Answer 1

I fixed this by moving the ngrok exe to the /usr/local/bin folder.

Answer 2

I was getting the Permission denied error message because I was running the command from a folder that only had a shortcut to ngrok instead of the actual executable. Silly mistake, but figured I would post in case anyone else does the same thing.
