You don't run /dev/cpu/*/msr or /dev/cpu/0/msr, those are not programs. You also don't run ./turbostat, you run turbostat.

I believe there is a module needed to run trubostat... also isn't it available in the repo or AUR? Why build it the old chocolate way?

if I read the Turbostat manual says this:

Periodic Example

Without any parameters, Turbostat displays statistics ever 5 seconds. Periodic output goes to stdout, by default, the unless --out is used to specify an output file. The 5-second interval can be changed with th "-i sec" option. Or a command may be specified as in "Fork Example" below.

[Root @ hsw] # ./turbostat

same thing for these commands:

Notes

turbostat must be run as root. Alternatively, non-root users can be enabled to run turbostat this way:

# setcap cap_sys_rawio=ep ./turbostat

# chmod +r /dev/cpu/*/msr

sorry if I ask explanations, however returning to the topic the command:
sudo turbostat
it works, but if anyone wants to explain, always happy to learn.
edit
I added the msr module mkincipio.conf, pack and given:
sudo modprobe msr

If sudo turbostat works but turbostat didn't work, the problem wasn't a missing command. Note, if a command is not in your $PATH then the shell will output an error which says something like "command not found".

The manual seems to be describing how to run turbostat without installing it through a package manager. ./turbostat means to run it from the current working directory rather than a directory in your $PATH.
