thread-hijacking / installing apollon

I thought this was a neat program so I downloaded the apollon.run file. I first su'ed into root and typed ./apollon-installer-0.6.run
and I got this output:
bash: ./apollon-installer-0.6.run: Permission denied

any ideas why?

Try 'chmod +x apollon-installer-0.6.run' and then redo the command.

Please don't hi-jack threads!

I downloaded the installer file and ran it as root and get this error message:
-bash: ./apollon-installer-0.6.run: Permission denied
any ideas?

Hi Matt,

Well I don't know anything about Apollon, but it sounds like file isn't set to be executable. Try a 'ls -la apollon-installer-0.6.run' and see whether or not it is. If it isn't then do a 'chmod +x apollon-installer-0.6.run' and try again.
