Hello the instruction says the following:  
make the files executable by executing the following three chmod commands:

chmod +x ignition.sh  
chmod +x ignition-gateway  
chmod +x gcu.sh

To start Ignition now, type

./ignition.sh start

What actually happened:  
the file gcu.sh replaced by gwcmd.sh

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition $ sudo su  
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition# chmod +x ignition.sh  
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition# chmod +x ignition-gateway  
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition# ls  
data ignition-util.sh Notice.txt webserver  
gwcmd.sh lib README wrapper-license.conf  
ignition-gateway License.html temp  
ignition.sh logs user-lib  
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition# chmod +x gwcmd.sh  
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition# ./ignition.sh start  
Found /usr/local/ignition/ignition-util.sh but could not execute it. Please make sure that the file has execute permissions.  
root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/ignition#

Can you let me know how to fix the error?

you need to` chmod u+x ignition-util.sh` to make it executable for the user.
