.bin file install
Without knowing a whole bunch about your .bin file, what it is, or where it came from... here is what I might do to start with.
try one of two things. try running it with /bin/sh #/bin/sh <program>.bin Or heck, even better... make it executable, and then run it on whatever shell you choose! #chmod +x <program>.bin #./<program>.bin These examples are very bash specific, but should get you started. Good luck! -James |
Well, from a command line, go to the directory where you put the .bin file, give it execute permissions (not always necessary), and execute it:
Code:
cd /home/user_name/file.bin Hope that helps! :) [EDIT]LOL, only by < 1 minute! jfryman just barely beat me! Blast!! must...type....faster...[/EDIT] |
[EDIT]QtCoder was much faster on the draw![/EDIT]
Usually, you need to make the .bin file executable. If you downloaded it to something in your home directory, you can just issue the command Code:
chmod a+x (flename).bin 1) open terminal 2) chmod a+x filename.bin 3) ./filename.bin and that will install it. if it is in a subdirectory of /home/you, then just navigate to it and issue the same commands. Peace, JimBass |
gee thanx a lot!! really appreciate it!!
