Convert .wia to .iso with Ubuntu 12.10

A google search points me to Wiimms ISO Tools
http://wit.wiimm.de/
Maybe that can do what you want.

Yes, it seems to be nice program but the guides don't tell how .wia can be converted to .iso. The problem is that i have a wbfs manager that i use to extract the .iso files to a memory card and the wbfs manager doesn't recognize .wia files.

Accoring to http://wit.wiimm.de/wit/cmd-copy.html a command like
wit copy source.wia --iso target.iso
should do the conversion (just based on reading the documentation, I have never tried using these tools myself).

No command 'wit' found, did you mean:
 Command 'win' from package 'wily' (universe)
 Command 'git' from package 'git' (main)
 Command 'xwit' from package 'xwit' (universe)
wit: command not found

You have to install the wiimm tools from http://wit.wiimm.de first!
Download the wit-v2.11a-r4233-i386.tar.gz or wit-v2.11a-r4233-x86_64.tar.gz file (depending on your architecture), unzip it (by using the adequate tar command) and execute the installation script. Then try the "wit" command again

I downloaded wit-v2.11a-r4233-x86_64.tar.gz and i got a folder.. In the folder is install.sh file. I tried it and it opened the terminal for about half a second and tehn it disappears. Then theres a folden named bin. There are several executables named wdf, wdf-cat, wdf-dump, wfuse, wit and wwt. Tried to double click but nothing happened. Tried to open with terminal
zeipii@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/zeipii/anus/bin
zeipii@ubuntu:~/anus/bin$ wit PROGRAM
No command 'wit' found, did you mean:
 Command 'win' from package 'wily' (universe)
 Command 'git' from package 'git' (main)
 Command 'xwit' from package 'xwit' (universe)
wit: command not found

Don't know if I'm doing it right though..

I renamed the wit-v2.11a-r4233-x86_64 folder to anus, because that way I dont have to copy paste all the time when i desperately try everything that comes in mind.

I assume you have to use a terminal and do:

cd /home/zeipii/anus/bin
./wit copy ...

or use the teminal command

~/anus/bin/wit copy ...

zeipii@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/zeipii/anus/bin/wit copy /home/zeipii/Downloads/re_zero_archives.wia --iso /home/zeipii/Downloads/RE/re_zero_archives.iso
bash: cd: /home/zeipii/anus/bin/wit: Not a directory
zeipii@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/zeipii/anus/bin
zeipii@ubuntu:~/anus/bin$ wit copy /home/zeipii/Downloads/re_zero_archives.wia --iso /home/zeipii/Downloads/RE/re_zero_archives.iso
No command 'wit' found, did you mean:
 Command 'win' from package 'wily' (universe)
 Command 'git' from package 'git' (main)
 Command 'xwit' from package 'xwit' (universe)
wit: command not found

Couldn't be much more hard..

There is an install.sh file. Could try running it using sudo.

zeipii@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/zeipii/anus
zeipii@ubuntu:~/anus$ sudo install install.sh
[sudo] password for zeipii:
install: missing destination file operand after `install.sh'

missing tools in PATH: wit

The dot and the slash were important indeed. It finally worked. No need for installation. Thanks. :)

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

running

sudo /home/zeipii/anus/install.sh

should install the wit tools in the /usr/local/bin directory in a way that
you can call it from any directory by just giving "wit ..."
