I have been trying to two days to get my device rooted. Bootloader is unlocked yet whenever I attempt to root it in terminal, following many directions I have read, I get these messages

Mackenzies-MacBook-Pro:Android OtisSpaghettiRedding$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory
Mackenzies-MacBook-Pro:Android OtisSpaghettiRedding$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-bash: fastboot: command not found
Mackenzies-MacBook-Pro:Android OtisSpaghettiRedding$

I have the files in the correct location, I just switched from an iphone and have never owned an android so I am quite new at this. Please help! My carrier is At&t. I also have searched countless websites including this one and tried many things before I finally broke down and decided to post.

I am hopefully doing everything wrong and someone will show me the light...

Shouldn't you be flashing the fastboot-mac version?

I know it took me ages to get it sorted too as the directions of what to type in terminal are not that great and didn't work for me. I wish I had noted down what I did do as I don't often use terminal so can't actually remember. Have you dragged the flashboot-mac file into terminal? I think I did that at some point. Keep trying and don't believe all the commands you read as I had to type slightly different commands in.

I think this post was the most useful to me located here
