@rodlie The shebang is wrong at the beginning of the script, is should be #!/bin/bash, not #/bin/bash

Typo fixed.

I just installed Natron using the linux installer, and I don’t have the Text Node under the Draw nodes menu. I read this thread, and ran the hotfix, however the Text Node still isn’t showing. What do I try next?

Try clearing the plugin cache (in the cache menu)

That did it! Thanks!
