cd /pathtofile

ls -l
-r-x------ 1 user user size date filename

if the x is not there do this..

chmod u+x filename

then run it like this

./filename

i just downlaoded that file, and the instructions are totally correct, set chmod u+x and then run it with

./wolfenstein-should-be-buried.run

if it's the chmod you're having trouble with use:

sh wolfenstein-is-dull.run

if the file is called wolf.run, type exactly:

chmod 755 wolf.run
./wolf.run

in the directory where the file is
